This Chili is wonderful.. It is so easy to make, I now make a double batch and then add eggs to it the next morning for Breakfast burritos. Top with a little more salsa.. Yummmm. -
Very good and easy to make. I followed the recipe other then I didn't add the olives. I loved it but of course the rest of the family thought it could have been spicer. They just added more hot sauce at the table. Made for Spring PAC 2011. -
I substituted morning star crumbles for the lean ground beef and used fire roasted can tomatoes. In addition to the listed ingredients I Add 1 can of pinto beans, 1 can of refried beans, about 1 tbs of minced garlic, 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, chili powder and paprika to taste. The chili was fast to make, had great flavor and the refried beans gave it some rich depth. Will make it again. -
Mild? With "Fire in the Hole hot sauce?" Guess you have a different definition of mild! I've never been able to tolerate even the mildest of the hot sauces so "mild" is one of my search words. i could use this recipe...if I replaced all of the ingredients besides the meat. disppointed. -
Definately easy & definately tasty- I left out the olies which made it even a wee bit lower in fat and I used extra lean groiund beef. Served with a lettuce, Tomato & onion salad Spritzed with Italian Dressong an a piece of garlic Bread- It's a do again recipe thanks Auntie Jen for posting it

<p>I lost my dad 3 years ago and it still hurts and I miss him alot. So if anyone who reads this and has lost a loved one, drop me a line and we can commiserate.<br /><br />I became a Zaar addict quite awhile ago and I love it- its truly helped me meet alot of awesome people and to be part of a community that not only is about the food, but also cares about everyone who is a member. <br /><br />I am a Host Moderator in the Q&A Forum. Its where I spend most of my time when I'm on Zaar, but you find me just about anywhere in the late night hours. <br /><br />My Zaar Sister Shirl(J)831 and I have met and she always welcomes me into her home. She is truly my dearest friend and kindred sister. Alot of people on Zaar think we are actually sisters and I take that as a compliment. She lives down South and that happens to be one of my favorite areas.</p>
