I like chili, but I'm not a fan of heat for heat's sake. I wanted something that would warm me up but not be overwhelmingly hot, and this was the result. My husband says that this would also make a good sloppy joe (with beans) mix.

I've made a lot of chili recipes and thought this one was pretty nice. I made it exactly as written. It was a little interesting that no onions (or even onion powder) was in it as most chilis have it - I didn't miss them though. It was also a bit unusual and nice that two kinds of beans were used. I happen to like blazing-hot food and this was definitely mild-mannered. It might have just been my crock-pot (mine is very large) but I found that the chili didn't get all that hot after cooking for 3 hours on Low. The chili came out nice and thick and was perhaps a bit too heavy on the tomato flavor. I didn't really mind these last points but noting that three kinds of tomatoes were used here I might have cut back or even omitted the tomato paste for example. Overall I liked this - it lasted me for two nights totaling four big bowlfuls. It might not be the best chili ever but it's still worth recommending. Read More

My husband and I love this chili. The only change I made was that I cooked some diced onion in olive oil before I added the ground turkey. I've made it with hamburger too. My husband likes it with hamburger and I like it with turkey. Read More

This recipe exactly what it says Mild Mannered. I did my chili on the stove top and omitted the tomato paste and added onions. Mom ate it as is and loved it. Hubby and I like heat so we heated ours up after cooking. Next time I will put sweet bell pepper in the mix and serve it over rice. Read More

Very good Chili I only made a couple changes. I added 1/4 pound sweet sausage to the ground turkey in the browning process and added a can of corn with the beans. Read More

So easy to make. I definitely make this again. We actually put it over pasta. I used the fire roasted tomatoes and that added just the right flavor. Read More

I added a sweet onion yellow pepper and an ear of corn just because I like veggies in my chili. Very little chili powder used but added smoked paprika. Turned out very good. Read More
