    Made this today, but modified slightly due to what I had on hand. Used organic Aduki beans instead of pinto (any beans would be good) and 2 cans (14oz) of tomatoes (1 diced, 1 fire-roasted and crushed) instead of a 28 oz can and 6 oz can of sauce. We love garlic, so I threw in a few more cloves. - 6/20/10

    It's a good basic chilli recipe. I only found that the amount of chilli powder wasn't enough to give it that chilli taste so I added a bit more. Will make again😃 - 8/20/15

    Delicious! No onions, so put in 3 garlic cloves and extra 1/2 tsp onion powder. No pinto beans; used dark red kidney beans (rinsed). Don't like cilantro, so left it out. Served with homemade gluten free corn bread & spinach/cranberry/sesame salad. - 2/25/15

    This was easy and pretty good. I did substitute a can of diced tomatoes for a can of fire roasted tomatoes but left everything else as written. The one cup serving was rather filling. Thanks for sharing. - 11/1/12
