great recipe! Very easy and so tasty. I add an extra can of beans and use stewed tomatoes because they are easy to pick out for our picky eaters :)

I made this according to the recipe and I agree with the other reviews that it needs something. It was a little bland but not bad.

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.
