I got this wonderful recipe from my sister-in-law, who made a big batch and served a crowd one night. It was a hit. Plus, it's easy and quick, which is helpful since I'm a college student. In all my years of 4-H cooking, I've never had another dish get so many compliments. —Laura Brewer Lafayette, Indiana

we made this and decided it was so good, that we'd have to have it VERY often. EXCELLENT!

My wife made this last night. She did substitute the white kidney beans for the great northern beans. The flavor is excellent for the family and I was able to kick it up a notch with some habanero powder at the table. I found the chili to be a little thin for my liking and it would benefit greatly from a rest period to get some more of the flavor into the beans.

We always rate new recipe's & we gave this one a "10" I made this for dinner tonite w/crusty bagette. It was awesome. I cut back on the cumin & oregano to 1/2 teasp. Used only 1 can of green chilies. Used a whole garlic clove, & omitted the cayenne pepper.

Been making this for years for church and famliy events. When we take it to the chili cookoffs, its always the first to go and usually the pot is scraped almost clean! Its always a big hit. I have even used turkey and cooked dry white beans in a crockpot to make this, still just fantastic!

I doubled this recipe and made it for a pumpkin-carving party we had recently. The Chili was delicious. Our guests raved and requested the recipe.

This chili is really good. I add milk instead of whipping cream (I think the whipping cream is too sweet), only one can of chilies, and 1 cup grated cheddar cheese right before serving. My husband said it tasted amazing!

My husband is very picky! He loved it!

I didn't have the beans so I made it without & it was more like a soup. It was delicious. I will definitely make this again. And again and again. :)

We thought this chili was absolutely fantastic. My husband said he would take this to his next chili cook off at work. Although the chili was great it was a bit too spicy for the younger ones in my family, but to be fair they really don't eat anything with any spiciness at all. we will make this again and again.

I made this for a chili cookoff at my church and won First place. Of course I add some of my own flair. Watkins Mexican Soup Base. WOW does that make a difference.
