This is the best chili ever! I double the tomato sauce and add a dash of Worchestershire Sauce. I have small kids so I cut the cayenne pepper in half. The frigid and cheese are pure genius!

Great flavor! When you test it, it tastes like it needs more salt. However, it's perfect when topped with cheese, chips, etc. More salt in the recipe, topped with salty items, would make it too salty. Love this recipe.

I love finding new chili recipes and this one was terrific! Very quick and easy to make. Just a note that it was a bit brothy....we liked it like that since we let the fritos soak up the juice...
