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

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.

We love to hunt. So I used venison instead of stew meat in this recipe. IT WAS GREAT!!!

Like the other reviewer said, I made this for a crowd and not a serving was leftover after the social.

Highly recommend it for potlucks, large family or any other fall/winter get-together!

Followed the recipe exactly except that I simmered it on the stovetop for about 7 hours instead of using crock pot...it was delicious!!! Made it for company and family...everyone had seconds...will definitely make again!
