This chili was terrible! It was bland and tasteless. I would not recommend it to anyone.

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

This chili was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.
