Hearty and spicy, this is a man's chili for sure. You can also simmer on the stove—the longer, the better! —Eric Hayes, Antioch, California

Very easy slow-cooker chili recipe

My family loved this chili recipe. I didn't have to change a thing. I wanted to try and make chili and was looking for a good base to start with. Will as I said, perfect without improv.

Outstanding recipe as is but I used fresh onion, garlic and diced jalapeno using the rib/seeds too. Definitely a crowd pleaser!

I made this chili for a chili cook-off at our church and I won the People's Choice Award with a trophy and all! I added my own home-made salsa verde for the salsa verde called for in the recipe. I sauteed onions instead of using dried minced onion. I also added some other spices like smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder and chipotle chili powder. And I used Mexican style stewed tomatoes in place of the plain diced tomatoes. It was AMAZING!!!

Definitely best chili ever! I used fresh garlic and fresh onion, instead of dried minced garlic. I also used chili beans instead of kidney beans, and I added golden and white hominy. (Regular corn is good too)

How can you really call this Tex-Mex with Beans?

Best chili we've tried so far. I used 3 pounds ground beef and added salt, pepper, and additional garlic powder as I browned it. I substituted 3/8 tsp garlic powder for the minced garlic and 1/2 can Rotel tomatoes with green chilies for the salsa verde. I omitted the chili powder (forgot to restock the spice rack), only used 1/4 tsp cayenne, added an extra 1 to 1 1/2 cups water, and simmered it on the stove for 1 1/2 hours instead of using the crock pot. I served it over medium shell pasta with sour cream and cheddar cheese. It was mild enough that my three toddlers had no issues with it. Definitely a keeper.
