Meet the Cook: As far as I was concerned, the original version of this dish was fine. But, with a 14-year-old son who can't get enough spice, I added green chilies and other seasonings until I "discovered" a quick and easy chili that he's wild about. -Carlene Bailey, Bradenton, Florida

EXCELLENT!!!!! This chili is the best. Not to hot. I only used 1 can of chilies and put in a package of Taco seasoning...FANTASTIC~~~~

This chili is not near as spicy as you would think but it is very good. To add a little heat, I did garnish with jalapenos as suggested. I also omitted the cloves. This is a keeper!

Making it again today. I just left out the nutmeg b/c I'm not a fan. My fiancÃ© loves this recipe too. TY for posting it.

This is AMAZING. I didn't have green chilies or cayenne on hand, but made it anyway. So it was milder, but it was so flavorful!

The best.....my family loves this recipe. I like to serve it with flour tortillas and corn tostadas. Along with the jalapenos and sour cream, I garnish it with sliced green onions and fresh chopped cilantro.
