I love chili, cheese and Fritos.

Oh good! I don’t like celery either! Thank you!

We have always used Fritos and cheese in our chili. Lately, I have been taking a shortcut and using crushed Doritos for a cheesy crunch…

Chili and baked ziti are my goto meals in the winter.

I love chili! We use Carroll Shelby’s Original Texas Chili seasoning mix and really love it. It has just the right amount of heat for our tender Midwestern tastebuds, but isn’t bland at all.

Ew. Definitely no on my end. That’s why it’s missing from the list of ingredients, lol. I put celery in nothing though. I think cooked celery is gross. I’ll have to fix the recipe, thanks for pointing it out!

Angie – One more question…the directions mention celery, but I don’t see it in the ingredients list. Celery yes? Or no?

That was going to be my suggestion as well. Puree everything in a blender/food processor. Well,not the meat or beans, but the veggie part.

I’ve been looking for a good chili recipe. This sounds good.

Shannon–when I was a kid my dad wouldn’t eat “lumpy” tomatoes, onions, peppers, garlic (the list goes on and on) so my mom would through everything into a blender and liquify it, if you can’t see it–it’s not there.

I was raised believing kidney beans were used for chili. No wonder I can’t cook.

This looks good, but I can’t figure out how to substitute all the tomato stuff. I can’t have lumps. I can use sauce and/or paste, but no diced/chopped/otherwise made lumpy tomatoes.

Also, no onions or peppers.

What’s left? Beer and Fritos! My kind of recipe.

Hm. 5 or less. If you leave out the chiles (which I did) and do what I suggested for Jusy, with the Rotels (which add heat) then you’ll have even less heat than I did. Don’t be afraid of the chili powder, as that doesn’t really add much heat, so don’t try to control it there. Control it with the other ingredients. You could also cut the cayenne in half.
