2/27/2013One of the best chili recipes I've ever tasted. And you can't beat how quick and easy it is.

1/20/2013AMAZING chili. This recipe got me going on a chipotle kick that hasn't quite subsided yet. I hope it never does.

11/29/2012I always thought chili had to take several hours, not this one. Great technique of running some of the beans and tomatoes thru the food processor. For me it helped to add a small can of tomato sauce. In addition to the ground beef I added a leftover bar-b-qued steak cut into small pieces. Great recipe for learning good basics of cooking.

9/18/2012Very good chili ....loved the smokiness of the chipotle in adobe sauce and the subtle heat. Thanks for another great recipe

11/27/2011I made this today for our Grey Cup party (Canadian Football League equivalent of the Super Bowl).
Delicious!
My only modification was ground bison, not beef.
The acidity of the cilantro and the avocado/lime/onion "salsa" as garnish was perfect....
I will SO be making this again!

11/7/2011I am not a bean person, however I omitted 2 of the 3 cans of beans and used the 1 remaining can for the initial puree. It was perfect! I will make this again.

9/20/2011Easiest chili recipe ever. My husband loves it and you can adjust the spiciness by cutting back on both the chili powder and the chipotles in adobo, but it still tastes great. Best of all is how quickly it comes together.

8/21/2011My favorite chili recipe! I like to add another 14.5 oz can of fire roasted diced tomatoes and their juices (instead of water to loosen it up).

2/5/2011I've made this vegan by using fake beef (Boca or MorningStar) and taken it to potlucks and chili cook-offs and it's still the biggest hit!

1/30/2011This is a fantastic recipe, comes out perfect everytime. I agree that it is better the next day.
by lobsterwoman,
1/20/2011This chili is ready in 30 minutes and is delicious. Better the next day. I had to add some water because the next day is was so thick, but the water didn't dilute the flavor. I love this recipe.

11/10/2010This was really good chili, although I will cut the onion down by about half next time. Liked the contrast with the avocado.
by SmileyRed,
3/4/2010Super recipe! Cut way back on the heat if you're making it for kids.
by kjreed,
2/11/2010My go-to chili. Always great whether you use ground beef or poultry. So flavorful you don't need to add the fattening stuff!
by Melles,
1/28/2010This is the best chili I had ever tasted.
by MadebyMariko,
1/26/2010Thrilled that this recipe turned out so well! I particularly enjoyed the blending process which resulted in a beautiful texture. Check out www.madebymariko.com for a full review!
by northridgeck,
1/22/2010This is a very tasty chili. Like other reviewers I used black and pinto beans. Blending them gives the chili a nice thick consistency. Don't omit the avocado topping - it really makes this chili special!
by tombp,
1/21/2010Excellent and Easy!
I did add water as it was thicker then I prefer.
Will definitely make again.

1/9/2010I made this last weekend when it was in the teens outside. Brrr. Awesome!!! I did not put in the full amount of the Chili powder only half. If I want it hotter, I can add more next time. For me it was just the right "kick" with 1.5 tbsp of powder. Really delicious
by Micole,
11/13/2009absolutely excellent!! i made it 2x's in 1 month and shared it with friends...it is my new favorite go to recipe for chili
by MMX,
11/7/2009Stellar! The lime juice in the raw onion and avocado granish completely tames the onions. Make double and freeze the other half.
by RobinRN,
11/1/2009This was easy and excellent! I will definitely make this a regular winter recipe. I made a skillet of cornbread with it and it matched perfectly.
by BlondeJeni,
10/19/2009This recipe was super easy to make .... added a little cayenne pepper to spice it up a little, and used ground turkey instead of beef, then served it again for brunch the next day with poached eggs on top ......
by SailingSue,
10/18/2009Agree that it is very easy and fast to make. Made a double batch to freeze some for later. Will definitely add this to my football party food list.
by FSO,
10/17/2009Easy and delicious! I used ground chicken, and it was just fine. The avocado topping provides a wonderful bright contrast to the earthy taste of the chili.
by twood,
7/6/2009This chili is very good and very easy! I used ground turkey instead of beef and added fresh corn and other veggies. It is something I will make over and over again.

3/26/2009I thought this looked "odd" at first (the blending of beans and tomatoes) but boy is it good. Easy and fast as others have noted. I cooked some down a little and made burritos, it's fantastic.
by mojodonut,
1/31/2009Very fast and very good; will certainly make again! It is quite thick. I used 2 cans black (1 for puree) and 1 can kidney beans.
by Jason123,
1/29/2009This chili has a wonderful smoky flavour and rich sauce. I served it with bacon and scallion cornbread, which was a nice complement.
by joeygirl,
1/14/2009Excellent recipe, much easier than I thought it would be. I used black beans, great northern beans and pinto beans because that was in my cupboard, it was great with this combo!
by mowgli,
11/26/2008By far the best and fastest chili I've made. Usually slave over the stove for a couple of hours (making enough chili for an army)..this is fast, easy and delicious! I usually make chili with kidney beans - the black beans are a great change and wonderful! Next time, I'll double the recipe so there is a BIT more for leftovers or freezing.
by laurava,
6/18/2008A different twist- fast and good..
by getlost,
4/4/2008Great chili. Fast and easy to make.
by learea,
1/14/2008Very good! My husband especially enjoyed this chili due to its spicy flavor. I did not top the chili with avocado, but instead used tortilla chips, sour cream and some shredded cheese.
