This was ok- it was waaaaay too tomato-y for my taste. I am from Texas so perhaps I have a different idea of what chili should taste like.

I love this chili and I agree about the crock pot size. Also, my husband loves vegetables so I add a red or green pepper while it is cooking, and sometimes add corn too! Off to the store so I can make it tomorrow night!

Delicious! I wasn't so sure about this one--I'm not a crock pot fan--but this chili is so lovely. Will definitely make again.

I can't get enough of this chili! It's delicious served with corn bread. I double the recipe and make it in my 6-quart crock pot for 10 hours while I am at work. Left-overs are great for lunch at work as well!

Use a 4 or 5qt slow cooker. I used a 6qt cooker, and too much liquid evaporated, so end result was chili that tastes/looks like Wolf chili in a can. But at least you know everything that went into what you made!
