Tasted good but not much of a kick, if you like more spice then add some chilli powder etc.

I added a chopped jalapeno pepper (seeds included), some garlic, no corn, and it was a hit with my son and his friends. The barbecue got turned off and out came the chili! He asked to make this again which is something he never does. Theresa

Absolutely my husband's fave and my in-laws which speaks volumes. Always better the day after. Would recommend for anytime.

I've made this recipe a few times now, and just love it. I use medium salsa for a little extra kick, and add mushrooms instead of corn, and garlic instead of onions, as I don't like either, and it's great.

I'm only giving it 4 stars because it was missing a bit of zing to it - once I added a large amount of hot sauce though, it was perfect! :)

I added mushrooms, worchestershire, H.P., and it was very good! First time, not so much.
