I have tried this recipe a few times and felt it needed a little more flavor and heat. I substituted the diced tomato for the diced tomato with green chile peppers. I also used a spicy tomato sauce rather than just the standard tomato sauce. I used 2 cans of kidney beans instead of chili beans in sauce (I couldn't find chili beans in sauce). My husband loved it. I Next time I might use another tablespoon of chili powder to add an extra punch of flavor.

I made this on the stovetop because I started too late to use the slow cooker. I added 2 sliced serrano chiles (seeded and deveined so it wouldn't be too spicy for the kids) along with the garlic. When the meat was browned and the veggies cooked I added 1/2 a beer. Then I used 2 cans of chili beans. It's very good. I will definitely use this recipe again- probably with the same and possibly other tweaks.

This recipe was ok. We used the beans, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce that was already seasoned for chili and added the seasoning, but it still needed more seasoning. I prefer a chili with more beans than this, next time we will use three cans of beans. Otherwise it is a very good, basic starter chili for someone who is still learning to cook.
