  • Reviews

  • “This was seriously the best chili that I have ever tasted in my life.”

  • “Great recipe! Easy to put together & it’s so hearty -definitely going to keep this one handy!”

  • “Yeeeooowch!Double hot from the cayenne and jalapeno!Good stuff.I cheated and used all canned tomatoes and canned chopped jalapenos as well.Yum yum, thanks for the great recipe!”

  • “Just the right amount of heat and plenty of flavour in this chili. I went looking for something to use our turkey chops and was so pleased I found this. It’s a meal in one pot with the potatoes in it. I don’t know what black beans are, so I used red kidney beans, and I added 1 teaspoon of salt. This looks like a lot of ingredients and steps, but it only took 20 minutes of slicing, dicing and sauteeing before I was ready to leave it cook for the hour.”
