This hearty chili is filling, nourishing and tastes like it simmered all day long. Leftover chili freezes well for a later time, so why not make a double recipe? To freeze: Cool remaining chili and transfer to freezer containers. Cover and freeze for up to 3 months. To use frozen chili: Thaw in the refrigerator. Place in a saucepan and heat through.

Made this last night for supper and really appreciated how fast this came together. My only addition was some chopped onion. I used medium salsa and hot taco seasoning and it had a nice spice to it.

I love this recipe. I make it a lot during the winter months. I let mine cook in a crockpot for a few hours before eating it and it makes it better! Just a tip to anyone who tries to make it.

My family really enjoyed this recipe. it was super quick and I will now make it all the time for game nights or sporting events. I used a mild taco seasoning packet and the regular one which added a little spice to the chili. We also ate it with bread and tortilla chips. It was yummy.

This is a great recipie, im making it again tonight for the second time. Last time I made it, I was a little nervous because I had unexpected company over and it was my first time making it. But it was so wonderful, it blew my guests away. I omited the stewed tomatoes and added mexican diced tomatos..super yummy! I always have to have cornbread with chili, but next time I make it I'll try it with tortilla chips...sounds so good!

quick and yummy. I was kind of nervous about using the refried beans, but it was really good. I plan to use it again for a fundraiser for our local tennis team.

This was ok. I didn't think it was as good as other people said it was, but that's just my opinion. It is very easy to make.
