Green, sweet red and yellow peppers give this hearty chili a splash of color. I often fix it for my grandsons. Because they don't like spicy chili, I use mild salsa, but try it with a hotter variety if you prefer. -Richard Rundels Waverly, Ohio

This is more of a light "summer" chili. I added more peppers, doubled the spices, added some black pepper for a little warmth and an extra can of beans and we loved it. Oh, I also used fresh mushrooms.

Definitely one of the best chili recipes I've tried!

I also used fresh mushrooms, and was pleasantly surprised to find this is a step or two up from your typical chili.

Really just average. The mushrooms are a nice touch, but way too many beans. Not as hearty tasting as many other chili recipes.

I have made a lot of chili over the years and thought this one was just average. I didn't add the mushrooms and needed to add a lot of extra spices to give it some zing.

I make this chili at least once per month year round. It is so flavorful and perfect for our low-carb lifestyle. I use 1 can of kidney beans and 1 can of black beans and use fresh mushrooms instead of canned. So hearty and flavorful!

Yes and no, I would try this again in an attempt to create a better sense of taste to this receipe. I believe it may have been due to leaving the marjoram out (I didn't have it on hand). I can only ascertain that it's a very important ingredient in the receipe. Otherwise, the color was beautiful and would've been tastier with cornbread.

Easy and delicious chili. I used one can of black beans in place of one of the cans of kidney beans and added a can of chopped green chiles.

Not bad; I used a medium-hot salsa and a bit more of the spices, but the mushrooms just didn't work for me at all in this flavor combination.

One of ToH's best chili recipes imho. I substituted ground turkey for the ground beef, and 1 can of black beans in place of 1 can of kidney beans. Magnifico!

This is a wonderful chili recipe! Tastes great and cooks in the slow cooker so meal time is fast and easy.
