Everyone who tastes my chili comments that it is restaurant-quality. It's especially good with homemade corn bread. I have always loved to cook, and I enjoy developing original recipes like this one. —Shannon Wright Erie, Pennsylvania

LOVE this recipe. It makes a TON of chili! I omitted the celery and doubled the cans of beans using 2 cans of kidney and 2 cans of pinto beans. They list the browing sauce as "optional". I made it without it the first time and it was good. I made it with the browning sauce the 2nd time and it was EXCEPTIONAL! I also make mine in a large stock pot. Put it in the oven on the bottom shelf for 3 hours. This gives the ingredients a good chance to blend..

Exactly the kind of chili recipe I was looking for...so tasty and you can start at any point and just let it simmer as long as you need to. I added some sour cream on top. Yummy!

This was very easy to make, doesn't require a lot of cooking time, and tastes great! The only thing I would change next time is I would omit the celery. It's kind of out of place in this recipe, and I don't care much for celery anyway.

I added an extra can of beans as the ratio of ground beef to bean is in the ground beefs favor. I like more beans than meat.

Awesome recipe - add a few things to it 1 stick of Jimmy Dean (Sage) 1 can red kidney bean, 1 can white kiney bean, 1 can of pinto beans....instead of chopping onions and use a food processor, added 1 large onion, 3 cloves of garlic, 2 cut up carrot sticks and 2 serrano pepper (including seeds) chopped well and added to while cooking.... I substituted salt for 1 cube of bullion instead... I hope everyone else enjoyed it as much as my family did. Thank you
