I made this Chili last night and it was so good, I am not a big fresh jalapeño fan so I used 1 1/2 (I quadrupled the recipe). It was really good. I had a little left over and tried it today and it was even better the second day. Perfect consistency. I absolutely recommend this and will be making it again very soon.

This is the perfect chili for busy people that love flavor and are on a budget. Very few ingredients and soooo much flavor. Be sure to mash some of the beans with a large stirring spoon against the side of the pot as it cooks as indicated in the "Cook's Note" at the bottom of the recipe. I've been making this as my go-to chili since 2006 when it was first published in EveryDay Food and my husband still asks for it. I'm bringing it to a family Chili Cookoff in a couple of weeks!

I LOVE this recipe. So fast and easy! I quadruped the recipe but only used 2 cans of beans. To beef up the flavor, I also added 1 Tbls of "Better Than Bullion" chicken paste. Yum! Freezes well, too. Martha, you rock!

Needs more flavor. So I added 2 Tablespoons of Tomato Paste, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Emiril Lagasse's Bayou Blast (BAM) and definitely more Salt and Pepper to taste. I also thickened it up with a bit of cornstarch.

Not to despair. There is another recipe for turkey chili on the site that's fabulous! And you can use 99% fat free turkey. http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/turkey-and-white-bean-chili

The recipe turned out great per my husband. However, the broth was quite thin so I added a little cornstarch to thicken.

Just from reading the recipe, can tell this would be bland. Two suggestions: Combine the following spices: 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/2 teaspoon salt and then add 1/4 of the resulting mix to the chili. Second suggestion: add a bit of a prepared Caribbean Jerk seasoning to add some flavor and a little heat.

I made this recipe exactly as described and the end result was rather bland. Will not make this again. I ended up adding another teaspoon of cumin to see if that would add some more flavor along with a dozen other seasonings. After playing around with it, I finally ended up adding some flavor, but still didnt like it much. I dont recommend this recipe.

I tweaked this recipe a little bit and it came out great. Instead of water, I did a light beer beer/broth combination and added sweet walla-walla onions and white corn. At the end, I stirred in some chopped cilantro. The result was a light chili that capitalized on the tastes of summer... I like to think of it as your traditional red chili's oh-so-sophisticated cousin!
