I made this recipe last night for my husband and I. There are a ton of left overs and it only gets better the longer it sits! Didn't make the rice tho, but it was just as delicious!

Great flavor! I'm a meat eater so I was nervous about this. It was fantastic, I did not miss the meat at all!

Very delicious. My son went back for seconds. I used diced tomatos no salt and 1 can with green chiles. It really added a kick. I may reduce the amount of chili powder as some other review suggest.

Wonderful stuff. I threw in only 1/3cup rice into the chili itself and a little water to make the difference but overall everyone had seconds and I'm the only vegetarian in the house.

This was a great veggie chili. I used tomato sauce instead of diced tomatoes, and added corn and green peppers along with the red pepper. I found that the BBQ sauce was a little overpowering, but was still very good. Next time I'd only make it w/ half the BBQ sauce the recipe calls for.

This is very good! My kids (ages 14 & 9) even loved it!! I did alter the recipe and used 1 can of regular diced tomatoes and 1 can of diced tomatoes with green chiles. I did use 1/4 cup of chili powder and it does not seem to be too much.

The chili was very good, but extremely spicy. I used about half the recommended 1/4 cup of chili powder, and it was still extra spicy. I think that amount must be a typo. My young child would not eat it, so maybe it's best for adults because of the heat!

I'd like to try it too. That does sound like too much chili powder. I think I'll make it tonight and get back to you.
