Do you need to drain the chili beans?

this is a great recipe , but I tweaked it a bit ,needed more beef flavor , I added about 6 beef bouillon cubes , and fresh cropped tomatoes . Also for great color - and flavor I added about a cup of corn , more or less to your taste . When I tell people there is cinnamon and honey in this chili they are intrigued -
This is excellent chili if you are looking for a different recipe. My family gets tired of the same old dinners so I wanted to find a different recipe to an old favorite. I made this for my teenage son and his friend and they both ate 2 big bowls and loved it. It is not as spicy as you would think so if you like a kick to your chili you may want to increase the jalepenos. The sweet taste offsets some of the spice. I was reluctant to make this because I thought the combination of cinnamon and honey would be bad but it was outstanding. My family has asked me to make this again but to turn up the heat. -
Excellent chili recipe. Here are a few variations that I enjoy - I use a yellow pepper (sweet), add a some cooked tofu (you won't even know it's there, and it's good for you!) and I throw in about 1/2 cup of sweet basil tomato sauce. Yummy! -
I made this chili on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon in October, and it was exactly what we were looking for. I made a few modifications - only used one can of beans, and added an 8 oz can of tomato sauce for a richer base flavor. I agree with the other posters who say the heat gets lost - I added an extra jalapeno as well as extra chili powder, but next time will probably use 3 jalapenos, 3 tsp. chili powder and throw in a tsp cayenne for good measure. This worked great with some cheddar sprinkled on top and some cornbread on the side. Thanks for a great recipe - have definitely put into regular rotation!!

I was looking for a recipe to use peppadew peppers (piquant sweet pepper) and this seemed worth an experiment. I used the peppadews instead of the jalpenos and took out the cinnamon, other that that recipe as written, this is on our favorites list now and will be quite the regular. Can't wait to have it again, thanks
