Beef, Black Bean, and Chorizo Chili

We make this with linguiça, instead of chorizo.  It's the best chili we can make.  We were beat out in a competition, once, where we made this chili, by a guy with the same flavors, except he also has a smoker.  His meat just brought the flavor up, all-around.  This is a great chili recipe, however!

We have one chili recipe we have been making for years, but wanted to try something different. Loved the chunks of beef and the chorizo gave it a different taste.

Excellent chili. Made to recipe using boneless chuck we trimmed & cut into bite-size pieces. We like more beans-to-meat so next time would add maybe another can of black beans. Served with quesadillas & toppings for the chili.

I made this with ground turkey instead of beef & it came out excellent!! Highly recommended recipe!

Great recipe for a cold night! Like another reviewer I subbed out beef for poultry, using 2 links of chicken chorizo (which I bought at the meat counter so they were pretty big, like 0.8 lbs) and a package of extra lean ground turkey (1.3 lbs I think). I uncased and crumbled the chorizo first, removed and added the turkey, then added the chorizo back in and sweat the onions with the meat because I didn't feel like transferring it out again. Definitely allow this to cook for the full time because it made a huge difference in flavor. I only had cumin in the pantry so went without coriander or oregano. Still tasted great. Will add this to my chili recipes.

This is a great meal for a chilly fall/winter night. My grocery store doesn't carry chorizo anymore, so I used salami instead and sprinkled it with smoked paprika as it cooked. I used about 2 lbs. of stew meat instead of 1.5. I had 3 chipotle chiles left over from another recipe so that's all I used, and I thought it was plenty spicy! Instead of masa harina I used some Bob's Red Mill polenta that I had on hand, and I thought that worked fine. I served this alongside sourdough bread with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, and chives. It went over very well with my household (we all like spicy food), and I will make it again.

This is my favorite chili, I have made it several times and just love it.

I love this chili, have made it a number of times, once I used Soyrizo, tonight I used spicy jalapeno chicken sausage and that may have been my favorite version so far. Left out the lime and red wine this time and didn't seem to miss it.

Did love the complex flavours, but found the chipotle a bit overpowering. Will cut them back next time.

This is one of the best, most flavorful chili recipes we've ever had. Gets better with reheating. For a nice change, serve it over creamy polenta.

This is a great kick and now our second favorite chili to All American Chili available here at http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=438689. I made this as is except I substituted smoked chorizo for the spanish chorizo because it's what I had on hand. I served with this corn brad. Great way to warm up a cold night.

A crowd pleaser! Not hard to make either. This is great on a cold day. Good for everyday or special occasion.

This chili was great. I converted the meats from beef to poultry since my husband doesn't eat red meat. For the stew beef, I substituted 2.5 pound of browned ground turkey. For the chorizo, I substituted 3 links of chicken chorizo that I found at a local specialty sausage vendor. Instead of the beef broth, I substituted chicken broth. Other than that, I kept the recipe the same. If you can't find the chicken chorizo, try turkey pepperoni or just add the regular chorizo.

an absolute party pleaser. I would up the chipotle adobe peppers to 6-7 for an even more heat. it's worth the effort!

I thought I already had the best chili recipe in the world, but this one will replace it from here on out! I did cut back on the chipotle to one - it was perfect heat for me and full of flavor. Made this on a Friday and ate it all weekend, it just kept getting better and better.

I LOVE THIS CHILI! It has the perfect amount of spice. I added red, orange, and yellow bell peppers as well as a little extra beef and chorizo. It was delicious everybody LOVED it! It is great to make ahead before a party, I won a superbowl chili cook-off with it!

I made this on Sunday night for me and my boyfriend...typically I make a tomato-based chilli with ground beef and beans, so I thought this would be a neat change of pace. Holy hotness! My eyes watered after the first bite! But it was still yummy..and it took a couple cornbread muffins to put out the fire in my mouth. We both enjoyed it and I will probably make it again..

The first time I ate this, I thought it was just ok. I froze the leftovers and had them a few weeks later, and I guess the flavors had more time to blend, because it was great the second time around! A nice alternative to chili with ground beef.

I felt like this was a little too spicy, for me and most of my family, only my father raved about it, but I think this was to make me feel better. Won't make again, other than the heat it was a good recipe.
