"Folks who like their chili hot really get a kick out of this zippy recipe," pens Amy Baxter of Bishop, California. "I serve steaming bowls of it with oven-fresh corn bread. It's chockfull of garden goodness-with two kinds of squash , tomatoes, green chilies, black beans, etc.-that you can leave out the meat altogether and not miss it a bit."

I love this recipe because it's so versatile. I can add or subtract ingredients depending on what I have on hand. It's also a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a few odds and ends in my fridge that I need to use up, and this chili is a perfect way to do it.

I made this chili in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. I let it cook on low for 8 hours and the flavors really had a chance to meld together.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used crumbled tofu instead of beef. The chili was still very flavorful and satisfying.

This chili was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra chili powder and cumin to give it some flavor.

I'm not a big fan of chili, but this recipe changed my mind. The flavors were so well-balanced and the texture was perfect. I will definitely be making this again.

This chili was easy to make and very tasty. I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it turned out great. I also added a can of diced green chilies for some extra spice.
