    I love a good chili. I usually serve mine over rice, so you get extra protein with the beans combined with it.

    My mom always used a chili mix, and I have to admit, I have done this a lot, too. I should branch out a bit, I suppose...

    there is a really good chili mix available here called Carroll Shelby's Award Winning Chili. It comes in a brown paper sack, and it is excellent. I have been know to use it if I am pressed for time!

    I suggest you send this one in to Maria at Garlicster. She's always looking for good recipes that involve multiple cloves of garlic!

    I love a good chili. Cans and mixes ... that's heresy!!

    I'll have to try yours out. It's pretty close to my recipe (including the garlic) except that I add cumin in addition to the chili powder. Also, I use tomato sauce instead of paste and don't add additional water. Sometimes, I'll substitute steak or sausage for the ground chuck.

    Hm. I was never one for chili until I tried my friend Joe's a few years ago. This sounds a lot like what he does. I may have to try this one...

    Chili recipes are like snowflakes; no two are the same. I find this fascinating and love reading other people's recipes.
