With lean ground beef, four types of beans and lots of seasonings and toppings, this chili is truly "fully-loaded." But those aren't the only heavyweights in here; every serving provides a hefty 26 g protein and 11 g fiber. —Cynthia Baca, Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania

The first time I made this it tasted bland, but I jazzed it up with extra chili seasoning, cayenne, cumin, garlic, and oregano and let it simmer in the crock pot a few hours and it was a winner!

I made this chili today for Super Bowl Sunday and my husband and I really liked it! We are trying to eat healthier and when I saw the recipe had four different types of beans, I thought I would give it a try. I didn't have cocoa or the Louisiana hot sauce, so I substituted the hot sauce with Frank's Red Hot Wings sauce (used 1 Tbsp.) and added 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper. I also used the reduced sodium cans of red beans, black beans and tomato sauce. I also liked the garnishes of sour cream and shredded cheese. Filling meal, but so healthy too!

I really liked the flavor of this chili, though it was a little bland at first. Once I increased the garlic powder to 1/2tsp and the chili powder to 1tsp and added about 1 1/2tsp salt, it was pretty much exactly what I was looking for. It probably would have been great with the green pepper too - I just didn't have one at the time. Also, I loved the fact that this recipe had four different types of beans in it. Although I wasn't sure if we would like garbanzo or chick peas and went with pinto instead, I did add the whole tablespoon of baking cocoa. Don't be afraid to do it! I had never heard of this before, but it worked great.
