I tried this recipie today, It's still in the crockpot but I took a little taste earlier. It's great. I used a little less chili powder (actually I used cayanne pepper) about 2 1/2 teaspoons. And I used no green chilies. I cut up one red pepper and but that instead. I like a little less hot chili. But never the less it is great. Easy to make and looking forward to sitting down to bowl of it with some corn bread.
