This was good! I left out the green and red peppers, since my can of diced tomatoes already had them in it. I substitued "ranch style" beans and added a can of corn with the juice. Great recipe kept them coming!!!! -
Ok - I am doing Weight Watchers online and was CRAVING homemade chili! I took this recipe and substitued the ground beef for lean ground turkey (7% fat). All other ingredients were used. Please note - I used only 1lb of ground turkey and 1 can of diced tomatoes and 1/4c of Monterey Jack (2oz). This made 8 cups of chili - at 4 points a serving (1cup per serving) - and was DELICIOUS! This was my first attempt at chili - next time I'll add some hot pepper to give it a kick. Excellent recipe - loved it... -
Very good! I used cooked dried beans instead of canned and they had a really great texture - even after cooking all day! I halved the recipe, which is easily done, and it filled my regular sized crockpot up almost to the tippy top! So, unless you have a huge crockpot, I'd try halving the recipe at first to make sure it will all fit in.
