Love this chili. Have won chili cook offs with this. I add chorizo, 3 cans of various beans and brown sugar. Also use petite diced tomatoes with sweet onion. Absolutely delicious. My son would eat every day if I let him.

I didn't care much for this recipe. In my opinion the picante sauce took over as well as made the chili soupy.

I made this last Sunday, went over extremly well. I didn't put it in the slow cooker though, I didnt have that kind of time. I simmered it on the stove for about an hour. I also added some Macaroni noodles to it...jvery good, will make it again.

We pile our chili high with cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream, then scoop the perfect bite onto a corn chip. The entire family loves this dish. We make it nearly every month! It's got a great flavor and it's a fantastic way to sneak a few vegetables into the kids.

I served this for dinner, tripled the recipe and added three variety of beans, three different picante sauces, Most everyone took an additional serving, and I sent some home with two people. Great flavor!

Can't beat the quick & easy prep of this recipe. My entire family, including a very picky 4 year old, thoroughly enjoyed this dish. It will be on my meal plan rotation!
