Wow! I love finding a good chili recipe and the concept of this one got my attention. The basic recipe is very good as is, however, I did make several changes to suit my tastes in a chili. The seasoning mix is very good and I used as is. To make the meat mixture I added 1lb of chopped sirloin, 1/2 lb groung turkey, a cup of chopped onion, 1/2 cup of green pepper, and 1/4 cup of jalapeno pepper (seeded and chopped) when browning the meat. Then added 3 cloves of fresh chopped garlic to the meat during the last minute of browning to release some flavor. When assembling in the crock pot I substituded spicy V8 for the tomato juice (I like to know I get some kick in any chili), added 2 shots of expresso, and a tablespoon of chopped semi-sweet chocoIate. At the end I added another teaspoon of cumin and cayanne after putting all ingredients in crock pot to add some heat and get more of a smoke flavor going. Pureeing the beans made a big difference in the texture; great idea. When pureeing I drained the beans and added a tablespoon of chili sauce to loosen up the mixture. The basic recipe as is is very good and has great texture. EXCELLENT RECIPE!

This is so similiar to my recipe but decided I would give it a try since I had to make two crockpots of chili to take for my daughters field hockey concession stand. This was very flavorable and I loved the idea of placing the other can of beans in the blender. By doing this, it made the chili richer. The only two changes I made were to add some finely diced celery and 2 Tablespoons of sugar to take the bite out of the tomato sauce. Thanks for a great recipe.

I was recently asked to make chili for a chili cook-off at work. I searched the internet and this one had such good reviews I had to try it. I didn't change a thing, except doubled the recipe. I work in a hospital and there was a monetary first prize and my pride on the line. I won!

I made this for a family birthday party and it was a hit! I like that it's a slow-cook recipe, which allowed me to spend time with guests instead of standing around in the kitchen.

This was super great chili! I have my own tried and true recipe, but I figured I would try this since I needed to use the crock-pot. Well, my family flipped over it and my husband said I outdid myself! (I explained that I couldn't take the credit!) I used small white beans and light kidney beans for the puree. I didn't put them in the blender, instead I put them in the crock-pot first and mushed them up with a potato masher. I love this part of the recipe, because my family is getting more fiber and they don't have a clue! I have never used cumin or coriander and was worried they might be too strong but the chili tasted like...well...Chili! Thanks so much for sharing! P.S. I used 2 lbs. of ground beef...otherwise, didn't change a thing. NOTE: The spice mix makes enough for at least two batches of chili.

This was an exceptionally good chili....i'd never made it in the crock pot..and i will be making this again for sure..i did cook some diced onion and minced garlic along with my meat, and used 1 can of tomato puree and 1 can crushed tomatoes (both 28 oz cans) and used ALL the remaining dry ingredients in the sauce. it had a perfect "kick" to it...i did add some salt and sugar just to suit our personal tastes, but the entire family LOVED this! topped with some sour cream and shredded cheese, and some crusty bread to sop up the very last drop..DELICIOUS!

Its great - I added a diced green pepper and put in 2 cloves of minced garlic instead of garlic powder. Also used italian seasoning instead of oregano. Will definitely make again.

very good. Used 1 lb of hamburger and added 1/2 green pepper and 1/2 of an onion and a little bit of celery. Did blend the second can of beans. Also, used 1/2 of the spices and didn't save any for later.

We liked this chili, but I'm a little confused by recipe for the spices. The spice mix makes too much for one recipe, but not enough to make it twice. I ended up tossing the remaining mix, which was a waste.

Very tasty, thick, and easy Chili recipe. The first time I made this, I did it exactly like the recipe says. The second time, I added all the seasoning. Both ways are excellent!
The first time I made it, I drained the beans. The second time I made it I didn't drain the beans. I liked the second time better.
This chili is thick, a bit spicy and warms up nicely.
I added this to my "Favorites" cookbook. I will be making this again and again.

I just won 3rd place out of 9 with this recipe! Great taste, everyone loved it!

Can't go wrong with this chili! Only thing I will do different next time is to add a little more spice. Perfect meal during this fall weather and will become a staple during the colder months (which is often in MN)!

As written recipe I prepared in crockpot for 6hrs on low. Chili lacked depth and richness which I expected after slow cooking. It seemed to be lacking that special punch of flavor. If you like a mild chili recipe, perhaps this may be a winner for you. My husband and I didn't care for the Oregano in the recipe.

My love affair with Chili began 25 years ago in Stratton, Vermont. A restaurant in the Village called Mulligans had in my opinion the best chili anywhere. I've made many recipes that I thought would come close to what I was looking for. They were just that; close but no cigar. This recipe is what I've been searching for. I made it this afternoon and the aroma was amazing. I made a few substitutions We're watching fat intake so I used ground turkey instead of beef. I didn't have any coriander on hand. Instead I used my go to spice, Kirkland Organic no salt seasoning. Also, I only had 1 8-oz can of tomato sauce so I used that and one cup V-8. The result was fantastic. My whole family raved!

I made this and it was delcious. Most everyone had seconds. The way the ingredients on the recipe were written for the seasoning it appeared dry minced onion belonged in the seasoning. So I put the minced onion in that mix but then it said to cook the minced onion with the meat. I did both. It cooked for 8 hours and was wonderful. As a previous poster did I added one can of refried beans in for one can of the kidney beans blended as I didn't have a working blender and it was great. This is a less chunky chili so if you prefer more chunks add some bell pepper, more beans or chunks of onion or even chunks of beef. If not enjoy it's smooth texture. Served with bowls of cheese, white raw onion, avocado etc for toppings.
