I was afraid that this would get criticism from DH and DS for all the beans - 29oz is A LOT of beans, but they didnt' even mention it. They loved it, and I thought it was good - loved the slightly sweet taste (maybe from the salsa?). I did make several modifications because I didn't have all the same ingredients: I used 1 can kidney and 1 can black beans because I didn't have a 29 oz or 2 cans kidney, I used 1 can (28.5 oz) of whole tomatoes instead of the stewed and sauce, and I added 1 tsp cumin because I cannot imagine chili w/o cumin. For cooking, I did not strain the fat off the hambuger/onion mixture because I didn't use any added fat. I did appreciate that this is a low fat recipe. Update Jan2012 - I have been using Morningstar Farms crumblers as the beef in this recipe (add it after sauteing the veggies), and it brings down the cal/fat even more, but tastes just as good! For a 1c serving it's only 178 calories and 3.7g of fat. -
This is a great chili recipe. My son, who doesn't like spicy foods, didn't think it was too spicy. I used medium salsa instead of hot or mild. I also substituted the salt for 1 can V8 juice, and added a drained can of corn (which lends a nice touch of color). I will make this again. -
I added some cooked wheat berries to it for added nutritional value and put everything into the crock pot on high for about 3.5 hours. Very good recipe. -
I love this recipe. I have actually made it quite a few times this winter. It is my new chili recipe. Thanks so much. -

Hi there. :)
What a great site!
I am 36 and have been married 15 years.
I'm a stay at home mom with two busy children who are like night and day. One eats everything and the other is extremely picky.
Just about everything I've learned about cooking and baking has been tought to me by my sister Gayle who is a fantastic cook. :)
I have a couple favorite cookbooks I use, the "Joy of Cooking" and Betty Crocker's
"New Cookbook-Everything you need to know to cook." They've both been very helpful.
