This was nice chili, I used it with Recipe #224143, and it tasted great with it. The only change I made was I omitted the pork, as we didn't have that on hand. The seasonings were perfect with this, and the beans too. We will use this again, a good basic chili that you can put together fairly quickly if you soak your beans and cook your beans a bit before making rest of chili. Thanks kiwidutch! Made for *ZWT3 07*

I made this for the Recipe Rescue game :) It was a good basic chili though I don't think it falls into the World Champion class. Since you adopted this recipe I'll tell you how I made it - in the Crockpot, just added the uncooked beans and 2 C water along with the other ingredients and let simmer 6+ hours. I used green chili's and dredged the meat with flour before browning. Oh, the iingredients are out of order according to the directions and the chili did need the flour for thickening. The red wine was a nice touch.
