Every time we have a gathering or company, folks request this. My husband convinced me to enter it in a local chili contest, and I won third place! It's quick and easy. If I don't have fresh garlic, I use minced garlic from a jar. -Carrie Birdsall, Dallas, Georgia

This chili was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't be making it again.

This chili was a bit too greasy for my taste. The flavors were good, but the texture was a bit off-putting.

This chili was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The flavors were great and the texture was perfect. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.
