This chili was a bit too bland for my taste. I think next time I'll add some more spices.

This chili is a bit different from other recipes I've tried, but it's still very good. I especially like the addition of cinnamon and cloves.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use half the amount of chili powder.

This chili was easy to make and turned out great! I used ground beef, but I think next time I'll try it with ground turkey. I also added a can of diced tomatoes, which gave it a nice extra flavor.
