This recipe came out awesome! I added some cooked bacon and several serrano peppers to spicen it up. After cooking it, I threw it in a slow cooker and let it keep cooking on low for an hour or two. It was amazing. I accidentally used a 1/2 cup of brown sugar, but it was great. Next time I'll stick to a 1/4 cup. Chili cookoff tomorow, we'll see how it goes.

I decided to make this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some crushed pineapple that was leftover from another recipe. I didn't want to make such a big batch, however, so I made some adjustments to the recipe. I cut the 2 lbs of ground beef down to 1 lb of pork sausage. Used about 1/3 cup onion, reduced the ketchup to 1/2 cup, substituted 20 oz crushed pineapple for the pineapple chunks, used 2 Tablespoons of brown sugar and eliminated the vinegar. Left the kidney beans & pork & beans as is. Loved the sweetness the pineapple adds to this recipe - what a nice change from traditional chili! Comes together quickly. Will be making this one again.

Excellent quick chili. The only "mods" i make are to cut the hamburger down to 1lb. Don't think it needs as much brown sugar, either cut it down or out. And if you don't like the large pineapple "chunks" you can substitute the tidbits. Use at least 80% lean meat. Goes great with cornbread. Everyone I know loves it!

I didn't have a chili recipe I liked, but needed to take one to a chili cook-off, so I decided to take something a little different. I tried this one and won two awards: the "taste bud tickler" and 2nd place overall. It was great!
