I did cut the recipe in half when making it & in addition I reduced the amounts of both the chili powder & red pepper flakes, but other than those changes, this chili was made pretty much as given, & we had an extremely nice tasting chili! I have chili that I make with ground beef & another with chicken, so this one is a very nice addition to my chili rotation! The inclusion of the white beans was also a nice change from the usual kidney & chili beans! Thanks for sharing this great keeper of a recipe!
