This chili was okay. The flavor was good, but I thought it was a little too spicy. I also thought the beef was a little tough. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different cut of beef.

This chili was not very good. The flavor was bland and the beef was tough. I followed the recipe exactly, but I think I must have done something wrong. I will not be making this chili again.

This chili was easy to make and very tasty. I used ground turkey instead of beef and it was still very flavorful. I also added a can of corn and a can of diced tomatoes to the chili. It was a great way to use up some leftover vegetables.
