A delicious mix of ground beef, chorizo, beans, and vegetables in a hearty tomato base. I entered it in a chili cook-off and it won!

This is hands down the best chili recipe I have ever tried. The chorizo takes it over the top. In addition to the ingredients listed, I added a package of fresh sliced mushrooms, a can of green chilis, an extra shake or two of red pepper sauce, and a can of hominy corn (Great al dente texture!). I also added two large pinches of sugar to help round out the flavor. Probably could have used 1-2 more cans of diced tomatoes for moisture. When I served it, I mixed in some pasta shells for variety, and I sprinkled sharp shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Absolutely delicious! If you consider yourself to be a chili aficionado, then you absolutely HAVE to try this recipe! Can't help but wonder what a little dry red wine would do for this recipe. Please let me know how it turns out if you try it. Read More

Awesome recipe! Very easy to follow and make, plus I had everything already in my kitchen before starting to make it! I cut it down to 6 servings and it still turned out absolutely delicious and hearty! I used less Comino (Cumin) than it called simple because it's my first time and I have learned to be cautious with Comino in the past. Maybe next time I will try the recipe amount. Thanks for this wonderful chile recipe that I will be making quite regularly now. Read More
