This recipe was my first attempt at making chili. And let me tell you, it was DELICIOUS! It says it makes 10 servings but I couldn't get enough. Actually, it yielded about 8 servings. I feed my family of four and it was about 2 servings a piece. I didn't have fire roasted tomatoes so, I used regular diced tomatoes and was very pleased with the results. I can not wait to make this again. It is similar in texture to Wendy's chili. However, I think this is better! Loved it!

I am SO glad I made this!!! I got a brand new 6-qt. digital Crock Pot for Christmas this year, so I've been on a mad hunt for slow cooker recipes! This was the first one I decided to make since we had about a week's-worth of Winter come through about a week ago. It was so extremely amazing! The only thing I changed was that I used 80/20 ground beef in place of the turkey (I have a thing about ground turkey). It was the best chili I have ever made in my life! It wasn't so spicy that it left my lips blistered, but had a little kick with the tomatoes. I saved exactly half of it to freeze and my husband and I ate off off it for three days. The part that I froze is enough to invite my youngest daughter and her family (5 extra people)!!! I WILL be making this again. Extremely easy recipe, and extremely good!!! I made some rice, had assorted grated cheeses, and good old-fashioned corn bread to go with it (the rice helps with young children who can't tolerate any spice--even though it's not a really spicy-hot chili). It's good all by itself, however! Thank you so much for the recipe!!!

I made this for the first time tonight and followed the recipe exactly. It was ok, but way too bland for my family's tastes. My husband, who usually eats anything, was adding stuff to it at the table while he was eating it. All 3 of my kids didn't like it at all. I have definitely made better tasting chili, but this does have healthy ingredients.

This is very good for those of trying to get more protein, my kids did not care too much for it but I enjoyed it.

This was great, but a bit bland... Admittedly I didn't have the green chiles...or the 'fire roasted' tomatoes - just used 2 cans of plain tomatoes. However, I added some coriander. That was awesome! I would recommend cilantro if you have it on hand, coriander if you don't. I only had whole coriander so I crunched it up in a tea bag and floated it in the crockpot. The cilantro/coriander adds this lovely after taste, and covers up some of the bean aftertaste. Also 1 cup or more of frozen corn - added in the last hour or so of cooking. I made it with beef and was a bit generous with the beef. Served with options of shredded cheese, sour cream, and hot sauce. It got rave reviews at a recent potluck.

Add 1 tsp of salt and 3/4 c beer plus a pinch of red crushed pepper and/or 1 diced jalapeƱo! We love it! Serve it with home made corn bread or fritos and a dollop of sour cream. Delicious!!!

I made this last night. I skipped the tomato sauce and made it vegan. Added lots more chili powder and oregano and sauteed the onion, garlic and peppers in olive oil for 5-7 minutes before throwing it in. Top with vegan cheddar and tortilla chips and voila

I really enjoyed this dish and I pumped it up by using pinto, black and kidney beans and extra tomatoes. Instead of purchasing separate herbs, I have a great Watkins Garlic Herb Blend but I also used fresh garlic - lots of it! I used unsalted ingredients for the most part and added very little. I ate it for dinners/lunches over the span of almost two weeks but none of it went to waste! It's versatile - great by itself, with corn chips, with sour cream/cheese, over a baked potato. I would definitely make it again.

I used ground venison and I doubled the recipe so I have 2 crockpots full of delicious chili

For weight watchers friendly I omitted the turkey and used fresh poblano peppers. It was fantastic! I now have this in my refrigerator as a staple to have a quick go to protein and lunch. You can dress it up with sour cream (or greek yogurt) and cheddar cheese! Love it!
10/06/2017
I made it as written, and it was SO BLAND. Will not make it again.
12/15/2014
Always a family favorite! We like extra meat, so we add an additional pound of lean ground beef. We also add a bag of frozen corn. Smells delicious as it slowly simmers!
02/11/2016
Instead of turkey, I added shrimp and corn in the last hour. My family and I loved this chili, it is now a favorite!
04/02/2020
Even my fussy kids liked this recipe. Only changes, ground beef and beans were not canned. Pre-cooked beans in the instant pot. Used some Better Than bullion vegetable when prepping the pinto beans. This recipe is a keeper!
10/23/2017
I am cooking this for dinner tonight instead of turkey I am going to put in hamburger meat.. hopefully it tastes good! I will update later!
12/09/2018
Substituted some lean beef sausage slices instead of turkey and stewed tomatoes instead of fire roasted tomatoes. Thickened sauce just a bit and served on top of white rice. Very good.
11/10/2018
The only person in my house who had a problem with this recipe was my husband, who adds habanero Tabasco to literally everything. The rest of us loved it, and there were no leftovers after day 1
07/05/2018
I have made this a couple of times now and shared the recipe with my step-daughter. Followed the recipe as written and loved it!
06/30/2018
I've made this one several times and am a big fan of it. It's very nutritious and filling. The only thing I would suggest is using lean beef instead of turkey.
01/08/2019
Made today in crock pot on low, all the seasonings using garlic salt. Added vegetable broth and only 2 canned beans (sorry) chili and black beans and Rotel. Cheese on top served with tortilla chips. I outdid myself!
10/09/2016
I love it! Definitely going to make it again!
08/12/2021
I have made many versions of Chili, but this one is by far the best one ever! I used Saracha sauce, because I didn't have green chili's, which I will be using for the next batch.
05/13/2021
Great recipe. I ended up swapping half the chili powder for chipotle powder, and adding a teaspoon of garlic salt and it turned out delicious. We're still enjoying the leftovers 2 days later
07/13/2021
Another wholesome batch meal to freeze for later. I have always ended up substituting something , but the bones of the recipe never disappoint. It easily adapts in a slow cooker or pressure cooker as well. It's interesting how simply adding three different beans can improve texture and appearance ! I've lost count how many times I've made this.
01/30/2019
very delicious ! I added Kielbasa sausage and white wine
12/26/2018
Delicious. I thought it was going to be too hot with all that chili powder, but it was fine. I did add a bit of smoked chipotle salt. It rounded out the flavor. My husband couldn't get enough of this.
01/07/2018
This is wonderful!!! Easy and great for freezing. I could not find canned Chili Peppers so I used fresh and chopped them up. Fire roasted tomatoes were not available either but using canned tomatoes were fine! I also used about 1/4 pound ground beef (93% lean) in addition to the ground turkey to give the browning of the turkey a little boost. Will definitely make again, especially this winter!!!! BRRRRR
01/20/2020
I might make it again. But major oversight in this recipe is not spicing the turkey prior to mixing with the remainder of the ingredients. No amount of spice was going to fix the bland flavor of the turkey :-(
10/29/2017
New family favorite.
07/18/2016
Absolutely Delicious!
06/18/2020
this is the best chili recipe I have ever made. not sure if it was because of the tomato sauce but it was so thick and creamy. i added 1 and a half jalapeƱos instead of the green chilis and added a few more spices but it was very good!
05/08/2020
I don't think it's to the point where it will make someone addicted to it and devour it like half a bag of ranch Doritos would, but it's not bad. I made this recipe with Lightlife sausage because of my vegetarian girlfriend and it was pretty good. We ended up getting 9 cups out of it, which everything added together ended up being 237.22 calories per cup which is awesome. for leftovers, I got a beef hotdog and poured some of this on top and sprinkled with cheese to make an awesome chili cheese dog. Perhaps some different seasonings would turn this into Doritos level good, keep trying and let me know.
07/04/2021
I also added a can of corn!!!! Absolutely delicious!!
02/02/2018
I used ground beef instead of the turkey and added bell pepper, celery, and cilantro. As some others mentioned, it was a bit bland-so I ended up adding some chili seasoning to pep it up. A good base recipe. Just adjust to personal preferences.
10/07/2017
This was amazing! New favorite for our family! Added a can of petite tomatoes and a small can of green chilies. If you are following weight watchers we figured this to be 1 cup = 4 points. Great meal!
02/26/2020
The best chilli receipe I've had in a long time.
10/31/2017
Very easy recipe to follow and make. I didn't rinse pinto or kidney beans which thickened the chili nicely. I added a can of original Rotel tomatoes to give it a little kick. I will definitely make this again. THIS IS A KEEPER!!!
03/12/2019
We loved this recipe! I followed the recipe but added a can of cream corn! Definitely making again!
04/10/2016
Added jalapeno pepper and corn. It needed a kick so i added tabasco before eating. It was great
08/09/2021
This recipe creates a flavorful chili and it worked well with my slow cooker.
01/19/2022
There was absolutely no reason to cook all of that for 4 hours. All the ingredients are cooked, except the turkey. After I cooked the meat I put everything in a big pot and put it on low for 20 min on a slow simmer. ***if it gets too watery add some flour to thicken it up but make sure to do very little at a time.
01/21/2022
It's pretty tasty. Definitely will make again.
10/17/2017
Fantastic!!!
10/19/2017
Good recipe, but a little bland. It needed a little bit of heat. I added chopped up jalapeƱo and some cayenne pepper.
12/31/2015
My husband loves it added bell pepper and corn to stretch the meal.
07/17/2017
Easy to make and tastes amazing!
01/29/2019
I love this recipe.. I used fresh roasted green chilies and it was a hit with a great kick!
05/25/2020
It was good, but I think I will substitute beef for Turkey next time
09/18/2020
Definitely was a great base for a chili, a bit blander than anticipated, a little more heat and a bit of salt would've done it well
10/23/2017
Turned out great!
01/19/2018
Great recipe. I left out the green chilies because of personal taste. Everybody loved it , even the kids. Going to make it again for a football party.
03/08/2018
I agree that it was bland. I added green peppers, chicken broth, oregano, paprika, coliander, cumin and alot more chili powder. Used fresh garlic and top it off with seasoned salt. I used dry beans cooked about 7 hours then added all ingredients and cooked another 4. I didn't use chili peppers because they didn't have any at store.
07/25/2019
Not bad. I'll make it again, maybe with some tweaking.
02/03/2020
Delicious and easiest to make EVER!!! I add just a bit more cumin (like 1/2 tsp), and make sure to NOT use the "hot, spicy" chili powder and the mild diced green chilies (I can't do hot spicy at all so this is perfect for me).
06/29/2018
Super easy, very delicious! Def will make again. I used cubed steak since I had that in my freezer left over from a stew I made in the past but will make with ground turkey or ground beef next time.
07/14/2019
I made it and it was sooooo good. I added two packs of McCormicks chili seasoning and it came out great!
12/02/2019
Turned out great! Made for hubby and the kids and it did not disappoint!
03/07/2018
This was delicious! I added a can of corn (rinsed and drained) and it added some nice crunch/color/flavor. Served with avocado slices, chives, and sour cream, then corn bread on the side. Will definitely make again!
09/27/2021
This is a great base recipe for 'quick (relatively speaking) and dirty' chili. I season the turkey when its browning with salt pepper and italian seasoning. I also added a small can of paste, a can of Rotel Tomato & Green Chili. I use caramelized red onions (butter, s&p, sugar) as I feel they taste better and add color.
12/15/2021
We enjoyed this. I didn't cook it in my slow cooker. I only feel like that is necessary if I am using dry beans, so since it was canned beans it cooks just fine on the stove.
12/29/2016
my family loves this chili and it will remain a permanent menu item with us. its super flavorful, easy to make and very inexpensive as well. i double the green chilis and add a little extra garlic too.
11/28/2016
I followed the recipe and it was delicious! Great for those who are converting meals into healthy options. With that said I decided to step it up in flavor with 1tbs Sea salt and a extra 1/2-1tsp of chile powder. Great recipe, Cheap and easy too! I bought enough ingredients to make the dish twice for family and it was only 28 bucks :)
01/14/2018
amazing recipe. this was so good that my mother and sister (who do not like beans at all) had seconds.
04/10/2019
My family was all about this. My adjustments were due to availability but turned out great! Omitted green chilies (unavailable), chili powder & oregano (forgot). Used 1 can diced tomatoes and jalapenos, 1 can diced tomatoes with onion & garlic, ~ 8 oz. tomato sauce. Added 1 lb. turkey kielbasa cut small and 1 tsp. salt. Garnished with shredded cheese and plain yogurt (or sour cream).
03/21/2020
This was a big hit with my family. I didn't change anything , except I did not add meat.
03/06/2018
Loved this chili. So much easier than the previous recipe I followed. Use be sure to add salt as it was a little bland without it.
03/04/2019
Taste so delicious
11/05/2019
Delicious but did add some additional seasonings to add a little more kick. Would make again for sure.
02/04/2022
This is the second time I've made this recipe. I followed the recipe exactly the first time I made it. It's an excellent easy chili. This time I replaced the kidney beans with an additional can of pinto/chili beans. I personally do not care for the kidney bean texture in chili. So I guess it's a two bean chili.
I increased the chili powder and cumin for my taste. I also added a partial green pepper this time that needed to get used.
I prefer the stovetop method, using my cast iron dutch oven, low simmer for a few hours.
12/29/2020
very very bland. it needs paprika garlic powder and .5-1 tsp of salt as well as more cumin. 3tsp cumin 1tsp garlic powder 2 tsp paprika
10/09/2020
Pretty easy recipe for a delicious meal after a long day! I added some cayenne pepper because I'm spicy and it was delicious! I used lean ground beef instead of turkey and the flavors went really well together. I will definitely make this again.
11/22/2021
I had requests for this recipe after the party; it was a big hit!
01/15/2022
Recipe was great, but I added a few changes to it. Bacon, garlic and fresh poblano Chile . It ended amazingly delicious!
