oooh - I've got chili on my menu coming up. maybe i'll give this one a try
Your recipe looks and sounds good.
It looks good. It does seem thicker but I'm sure that is a good thing. I'm making chili tomorrow night, from a recipe my son likes that uses those BBQ "grilling" baked beans. It's sweet, which is a little weird, but he almost never expresses any preferences about food so when he asks for something specific, like he did the other day, I really try to accommodate his requests!
That looks delicious! My grandmother makes such wonderful chili. It's a family favorite, and we look forward to whenever she makes it each year!
Celery in chili???? Who knew???? Thanks Mari for the recipe. Blessings
Yum! You can never go wrong with chili - even if it has celery in it!
Thanks for sharing your opinion and the recipe for this chili.
Chili is on the menu for Halloween night.
Ever since our kids were little, we have chili on Halloween.
Used to be so that I felt that our kids had a hearty and warm meal on their tummies before they went out for trick or treating.
With all our kids being grown up.. of course we don't have little ones trick or treating, but it's become a tradition:)
Might just give this recipe a try.
Warm wishes.

I made chili a few days ago, and while it was pretty good, yours looks and sounds better. I always appreciate your recipes. :)
Hmmm...this looks oh so scumptious, dear Mari! I have yet to make Chilli before...will have to try it very soon, I think!
May your Thursday be truly delightful...
Hugs and love,

That is so funny, because I made the same recipe last night! lol It was different, but good, and a little hot to me. I am freezing what is left for another colder day! Have a great day my friend.
We love chili and I have made this one before. I use extra tomato juice and no paste though. Yummy!!
This looks so good, especially for this time of year.
Sounds delicious! We love chilli through the winter. xx
I have seen this recipe before and wondered if it was good. My hubby likes Wendy's chili and that's why I wrote it down before. Thanks for sharing and for sharing your opinion! ;) xo
I need to try your recipe. I made chili last week and used Ro-Tel tomatoes. For the past many years of blogging, I have read how southern cooks use Ro-Tel tomatoes. I could never find them in PA. Krogers here in Ohio have them and I use them in dips too. They are only for people who like spicy food.
Now back to your recipe. I think I could eat it.
Wow, that is a complex and delicious-sounding recipe. We love chili at our house but my recipe is much lazier. It's all good. xoxo
You always share such great recipes and since I am making Crock Pot chili this weekend - I'm making this! Thanks for sharing. Last week, I made your chicken crock pot recipe using pork (with red potatoes and green beans). It was delicious! Have a great weekend.
love chili!!! sounds delicious.
This looks yummy!
It sounds very good - I love all the ingredients. Thank you.
We actually prefer thick chili because we usually eat it with lots of "fixin's". I like to saute all my veggies (onions, peppers, garlic) with all the seasonings first, then add the meat, then the beans and tomatoes last. It seems like the flavor is more potent when the onions are thoroughly seasoned. Or maybe that's just my imagination!
I'll have to try this. Aaron is picky about his chili, and Wendy's chili is his favorite!
