    One of the best chilies I've eaten. Once i did not have the chili peppers so i put a couple of chipolte chilies with some adobo sauce. That was also very good - 2/15/16

    Just loved this chili. My family thought it was one of best they ever had and that's coming from big meat eaters. I used 2 envelopes of chili mix instead of the other spices and did not cover it so it would thicken up. - 7/30/15
