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

This recipe was delicious. I used fresh garlic and onion. I also added the onion with the garlic to the skillet before putting everything in the crockpot. I added extra cayenne pepper for extra kick. I used beef braised ribs which was great!

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!!!
