I substituted a can of diced tomatoes with jalapenos for one of the cans of tomatoes and used a shredded mexican cheese blend. It was quite tasty. Next time I think I will substitute a can of ranch style pinto beans (in a chili flavored sauce) for the plain, canned beans. That should make it taste more like chili and less tomatoey

With the description and the way it smelled while cooking it I was a bit disappointed with the flavor. I even added a lot more Chili powder and cumin. Then added garlic pepper and salt. The pepper jack cheese definitely saved it though if you add a lot of pepper jack cheese to it it works pretty good. It was fairly easy to make and had lots of leftovers. Next time I think it would be better if I put actual Chili seasoning in it.

We quite enjoyed this one :) I subsituted NN small diced tomato w/ onion, green pepper and garlic for the diced tomato, and used Jalapeno havarti instead of the pepper Jack cheese. Good! I will definitely be making this one again.
