This chili recipe sounds delish. Does any one know if l drain the kidney beans before adding. Would appreciate any input. Thanks!

Great chili! It has a nice bit of kick from the chili powder. Served with sour cream, scallions and some fritos, which is the best way to eat chili.

Its good, but too spicy for us. I reduced the chili to 1 scant tlbs, increased the cumin to 2 tlbs. I can never keep fresh garlic in the house so I used 3 tlbs of granulated garlic (it isn't overly done), and 1 tsp celery seed. I don't use tomato sauce or paste in chili, I just use the Contadina diced tomatoes, they are very thick. I also add more salt to my preferred pallet. It is the recipe I needed to get to the recipe I desired. Thank you so much.

Very tasty, and really easy chili recipe. The only change I made was to substitute chili beans for the kidney beans, 'cause I'm not a fan of kidney beans. Topped with shredded cheddar and sour cream and it was so filling and perfect for a chilly evening.
