I've taken my mother's milder recipe for chili and made it thicker and more robust. It's a favorite, especially in fall and winter.—Celesta Zanger, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

This was delicious! I used jalapeno peppers from a jar instead of the hot chili beans because I didn't have any. I used about 2 Tbsp chopped. At first it seemed like it was going to be too hot, but when we put it together with rice and sour cream on top, it was perfect!
