“Our family loves this slow-cooked recipe, especially on cold days. It's a wonderful variation on standard chili that freezes well and tastes even better as leftovers.” —Deborah Vliet, Holland, Michigan

when i make chili i brown the meat then add all the spices and let simmer for 20 min,it seems like then u can taste the spices better.I used ground turkey and one can of (Red Gold) petite diced tomatoes with chilies (Hot) lots more flavor. used one can black bleans and one can dark red kidney beans did not add the yellow pepper- hubby does not like peppers in his chili. thanks for sharing!

My husband and I loved this Chili recipe! It was hearty and healthy too. I used ground turkey in place of the cooked turkey and it was great! Definitely a keeper! :)

I didn't use the chicken broth I used a large can of crushed tomatoes, + a spicy can of diced tomatoes, along with extra spices, + sugar, the taste is a bit bland w/o the extra ingredients, oh and lots of hot sauce.

Doubled the recipe and added a rotisserie chicken to it and it was wonderful!

I feel bad writing this because everyone else liked it so much, but for my family it had no kick at all. Chili is suppose to have some kick right? If you like your chili runny and bland, then I guess this would be good.

loved it, pumpkin gave me less of a problem with stomach acid afterward that I typically have with chili. No tums for me
