I threw this together on a cold day when I was itching for some chili. The spice measurements are approximate. I start out with 1/8 cup and go from there. It cooks up fast and gets better when stored in the fridge and reheated. Top with shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream, if desired. Enjoy!

This was great! I made it in the crockpot yesterday with ground turkey. It was VERY hot. I was able to eat it but my boyfriend (who loves spicy food) was only able to eat a few bites. Two of the cans of tomatoes with green chilis I used were "extra hot" (with two "mild") which has made some of my other recipes really spicy but I think the habaneros are the reason. I think I will use half the amount of habaneros next time. Read More

I really like the spiciness of this chili (I used all ingreds. but just two peppers) but the salt content is unbelievable! I was so surprised that not one other reviewer said anything about it. I can't eat much more than a couple of spoonfuls because it is unbelievably salty!!! I wish I hadn't put the taco seasoning in or the salsa. If I ever make this again I will definitely look for a healthy low salt salsa and find an alternative for the taco seasoning. I only used a half a pack. If you have hypertension your sodium intake should only be 1500 mg a day. One serving of this chili without any chips or anything else will be all you can have. If you don't then one an a half bowls will be your daily allowance for sodium. Read More

I only used two of the peppers and substituted medium for hot salsa and it was great. Spicy but not over the top. I won my chili cook-off at work with more than twice the votes of the second place chili. I highly recommend this recipe. Read More

This is the best meat chili I have ever tasted. It had a winning combination of hearty spicy and meaty. I also added some spicy Italian sausage(not on the recipe). If you're having a get-together where you need a large satisfying dish this is the one! Read More
