Every time we have a gathering or company, folks request this. My husband convinced me to enter it in a local chili contest, and I won third place! It's quick and easy. If I don't have fresh garlic, I use minced garlic from a jar. -Carrie Birdsall, Dallas, Georgia

This chili was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

This chili was easy to make and turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of beef and it was still delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

I thought this chili was just average. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

This chili was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would make it again, but I would use less chili powder next time.

I didn't like this chili at all. It was bland and had a strange aftertaste. I wouldn't recommend it.

This was the best Cincinnati chili I've ever had! The flavors were so rich and complex, and the beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender. I will definitely be making this again soon.
