This was quite nice. I added a can of diced tomatoes with jalapenos, went with generous spice amts., and forgot the salt... YUM! I will certainly make again!

Well, I probably wouldn't do it for a special occasion, but it was easy and very good, different then the other chiles I make. I did it exactly as written, I would consider adding peppers( fresh) if I had them on hand. Served with salad and cornbread.

This is one of my favorite chili recipes. I make it about once a month in the fall and winter. I use 2 cans of undrained diced tomatoes instead of fresh - usually with chiles if I have them. I also will play with the seasoning. It comes out nice and think with very tender beef.
