I have been making this since the early 80's. Had the cookbook which I loaned to a friend never to be seen again :( I agree, you do need to double the chili powder and hot sauce (we use Franks) and I use pureed tomatoes and simmer on very low. Its the BEST! You could basically add whatever other vegs you wanted to this but just adjust the seasonings. A WINNER!

This has been my exclusive chili recipe for years, with the stained page of my BC Cookbook to prove it, and everyone loves it. I don't understand the comments about this being bland, but maybe it has to do with the tomatoes? I always make a double batch with these adjustments: I use 2 lbs ground turkey instead of beef (less greasy), and I use one 28oz can of *crushed* tomatoes (makes for a thicker, less soupy chili). I get rave reviews every time I make it.

Great recipe! Used some of the suggestions such as the corn & doubling or tripling some of the spices. Added some corn bread to the meal and it was delicious.
