Really good. And really easy to make. I only had one can of kidney beans so I used some cooked pinto beans and it was still really good

I just made this and tripled the recipe and added four bell peppers two red and two green. It is to die for. P.S. Adding 3x the what your supposed to makes a lot of chili beans.

I made this chili a little differently. My daughter is vegetarian so I cooked all but the meat in the pot. Added the beef to our portions. It was very tasty both ways.
