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

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.
