Jan. '12: It was okay. I found the taste of the salad dressing overpowering. Don't make again.

I found this recipe perfect as is, not too runny or bland like some said. It was very flavorful and we loved it and I will make it again. It will go in my cookbook next to my grandma's more traditional tasting recipe since this was a bit different/spicier. Easy, healthy, filling, and delicious. I also made it with ground turkey instead of beef and it was great!

I read the previous reviews and added an extra pepper, extra ground beef (1lb total) added extra salad dressing, and a bigger can of kidney beans and cooked it longer than asked, turned out fantastic!

The chili was bland so we added an extra teaspoon of chili powder. It was good with taco chips instead of crackers. In the future I will continue to make my tried and true chili recipe and not this one.

This chili was a very easy to make as I threw it all in the slow cooker and the taste was amazing!! My 16 yr old daughter came back for seconds......which is something she never does!! I would say that next time i would thicken it up a bit as it was quite runny and i prefer a thicker chili.....but overall pretty good.

Although this recipe was okay, it's not one that I'll make again, as I prefer a chili that is thicker with less tomatoe chunks.

Absolutely amazing. Turned out even better than I expected. My husband is a big fan of chili and he really enjoyed it.
