I made this recipe last week and really liked it. I did scale it down to serve 4-6. If I made it again, I would omit the pork and beans. I did not have kidney beans so used pinto beans. I also added about half of a 4 oz. can of chopped green chilies which I had left over from another recipe but you really couldn't taste them. I think next time I would add a whole can.Those are the only changes I made and we liked it very much. It was great on a chilly, rainy day.

I love this recipe! I plan on making it again and again. What I hate are people who are rude. If you do not like it, just say so and why. You can do this politely, too. This recipe is what I grew up on. Thank you for sharing this.

This recipe is excellent. Made it for all the guys at work, and a few others and ourselves and everyone loved it. Thanks GrillLove

Am I the ONLY one appalled that anyone would RIP APART another person's recipe for their OWN purpose and shove those changes back to the person who was good enough to offer it in the first place? If I don't like the concept of someone's recipe...I simply DON'T MAKE IT. I find this very rude! A small adjustment or recommendation is appropriate but to tear it apart and put it down there is just no reason for it.

Is there any reason to be so condescending to people that are asking simple questions?

I knew the minute I started reading the ingredients, there would be questions about the amount!!

Thanks - dovecanyon and NewcastleJan for simplifing it for those too inept to know how to divide -- yet are still allowed to use the 'only room' in the house that containes a vast amount of SHARP objects!!

Cannot imagine mixing two vastly different families of beans and calling it chili. Rid the pork and beans. Add pintos. Scrap the bay leaves. Add oregano. Increase the cumin. Careful about chili powder--most has stems and seeds ground up in it. Use fresh; or rehydrate dried. Celery? No way. Try yellow hominy. Add yellow and orange bell pepper for color and broad, tender tastebud appeal.

I made chili one time with pork and beans and HATED it. I would make this and substitute pinto beans. I use yellow, red, and orange peppers because they are sweeter and pretty in the chili.

I serve a lot of folks both at church and at home...keep those large recipes coming.
