Really good chili recipe! I was anxious to try this one because it had a package of ranch dressing mix in the ingredients and I had never tried that with chili. Had to make a couple of substitutions based on what I had on hand.....used chili beans and omitted the hominy and used crushed tomatoes instead of diced. Also added a bit of kosher salt and a pinch of sugar. Served it with jalapeno corn muffins. Made it last night and today it's all gone! Will definitely make again!Volunteer Field Editor
I had most of the ingredients, but I needed to make a couple of substitutions, rather than going to the grocery store. Chili packet subbed for Ranch - Corn subbed for hominy. I also cooked the onion (and garlic) after the beef was browned and added the packets and some sauce to develop the flavor before transferring to the slow cooker and adding remaining ingredients, including some cayenne for heat. I did a taste test, and menu adjustment to fit it in this week. This chili is FABULOUS!! I never make any chili but mine, but hubby agreed this is a keeper.

This is simple and my family really enjoys it. I use ground turkey in place of the beef. I also substituted 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes for the diced and skipped the blender thing. I also add a can of chicken broth as otherwise it is too dry and thick.
Delicious! I love making ths chili. It's so flavorful and hearty. The only change I made was that I omitted the step using the blender and simply added the contents of the cans without blending them.

Yum yum! I love chili and this mixes my love of Mexican food as well. It makes so much and is just tasty all around!
My teenage sons absolutely love this!!!
This is now my favorite chili recipe! I made a few modifications to spice it up a bit more - added chili pepper and more taco seasoning. I also did not blend the chilies as recommended.
