Great chili for the whole family including kids. Not too spicy and has the right amount of beans. Also "hides" a lot of veggies. Add more chili powder to make it more spicy. This is a big recipe, so great to make ahead and freeze for future meals

This chili was easy to make and turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it was still delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
