I've won 3 out of 3 annual chili cookoffs with variations on this recipe (I vary it each year). It's the best "base recipe" I've found. The sirloin really make it stand out from most entrants.<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"02\/21\/2011 21:34","GUID":"793f4d017ad6430ca9c9cff31e3fa087","MemberId":5678889,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"grl727","SubmittedDate":"03\/23\/2013 13:47"},{"Comment":"
Used leftovers to stuff tortillas for Red Chili Burritos. My family LOVED them. Excellent recipe!<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"01\/31\/2013 23:20","GUID":"9199e26998fc4bd5b16c0eb078d4a239","MemberId":1848598,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"cea267","SubmittedDate":"01\/31\/2013 23:20"},{"Comment":"
I love this chili! I had been looking to try a recipe that uses beef cubes...my husband kept insisting chili needed ground beef. But after trying this, we all loved it! The first time I made it, I did as suggested with the sausage links, but found it seemed to soupy. Now I cut the sausage out of the casings and brown like I would ground beef. This recipe is a winner!<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"01\/17\/2013 13:47","GUID":"e890b61235eb44fe8e51cb2139363083","MemberId":1925155,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"shyski","SubmittedDate":"01\/17\/2013 13:47"},{"Comment":"
My husband made this recipe for a chili cook-off several years ago & won 1st place. He's made it 3 times since, & wins every time. This is a great "man" chili w\/ lots of meat & spice.<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"11\/14\/2011 18:41","GUID":"84c480c508a14f38ace8fb3702ea6378","MemberId":2066913,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"KelliT","SubmittedDate":"11\/14\/2011 18:41"},{"Comment":"
This is my go to recipe for chili. I've made it again and again, everyone loves it. I too have made small changes (ie. meat, types of beans) but the end result is so good. Never change the seasonings I think it is what makes it. It fills my slow cooker and makes a lot. Be sure to let it cook long enough to develop flavor and that thick delicious chili consistency. Thank you for this wonderful recipe.<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"11\/06\/2011 07:46","GUID":"a83122f44a1e4acbbdc5fde9a3bcf2d7","MemberId":6085641,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"jbeacom","SubmittedDate":"11\/06\/2011 07:46"},{"Comment":"
I won a chili cookoff with an adapted version of this recipe. I used more meat than it called for, and cut it up into slightly smaller pieces. I used diced tomatoes rather than cut-up stewed tomatoes (less work), and only 1 can of pinto beans (to my own taste). Also, I used whole rather than ground cumin because I bought it by mistake. Finally, I used cayenne pepper because I forgot to buy crushed red pepper flakes. I called it \"Chili a la Trololo.\"<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"02\/21\/2011 21:34","GUID":"793f4d017ad6430ca9c9cff31e3fa087","MemberId":5678889,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"grl727","SubmittedDate":"02\/21\/2011 21:34"},{"Comment":"
I made this chili following the recipe. Don't you just hate giving out a recipe and then have someone change it then tell you they didn't like it or it didn't work! The recipe was easy and made a reasonably good pot of chili. However, I found the tomatoes to be overwhelming and created a more acidic base rather than a meaty taste. I wouldn't make the recipe again without making some changes.<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"01\/18\/2011 11:27","GUID":"1c4b697987e3438e97f2b0274d5670f3","MemberId":5769723,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"Dragonheartintx","SubmittedDate":"01\/18\/2011 11:27"},{"Comment":"
I get asked for the recipe every time I make this. I use turkey sausage instead of pork, but otherwise follow the recipe exactly. It's a little spicy, but, hey, it's chili.<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"01\/05\/2011 20:48","GUID":"2cd0ea73da3a430991ef03acd6a209e3","MemberId":4918302,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"dnaheish","SubmittedDate":"01\/05\/2011 20:48"},{"Comment":"
I have made this chili several times and it is always a hit. My family likes a more mild flavor, so I reduce the chili powder to 1 tablespoon and eliminate the red pepper flakes. It never fails to satisfy.<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"11\/24\/2009 22:24","GUID":"B331D185207341FB8F3B5745F0913C11","MemberId":796554,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"odensesol","SubmittedDate":"11\/24\/2009 22:24"},{"Comment":"
I made this for SuperBowl Sunday. Everybody loved it. I'm not really a big fan of sausage so I did 2 lbs of cut up top sirloin steak. Added a green bell instead of green onions. Added beef broth instead of granules. And added 1 can of pinto and 1 can of red kidney beans. Served it with tortilla chips, sharp cheddar and sour cream. I'm so happy I get to add another great recipe to my collection.<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"","GUID":"4006b295fa814f54be3b645bee597a59","MemberId":1583303,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"drangel","SubmittedDate":"02\/03\/2009 16:20"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"04\/17\/2008 15:23","GUID":"44b02038da374e7685af170e9c9deeb3","MemberId":1853059,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"jennifer","SubmittedDate":"04\/17\/2008 15:23"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":18,"DateRated":"02\/20\/2008 10:46","GUID":"d47bbf9c35b644359b42ea915d65785a","MemberId":1079567,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"lisa53202","SubmittedDate":"02\/20\/2008 10:46"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"03\/28\/2007 14:15","GUID":"6bbce5a915fc48a1851f5fd1ee28501a","MemberId":1131045,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"BeckyRae","SubmittedDate":"03\/28\/2007 14:15"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":20,"DateRated":"01\/23\/2007 07:20","GUID":"508292cdd09b40caa6f34ab264370f53","MemberId":1752211,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Ivy1712","SubmittedDate":"01\/23\/2007 07:20"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":21,"DateRated":"09\/20\/2006 13:01","GUID":"038CB146544148EA82B8C717ACB5607B","MemberId":842661,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"debihunt","SubmittedDate":"09\/20\/2006 13:01"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
