Wowee. The rice would help cool things off a bit. I have always enjoyed my chili with a bowl of rice. Without it, something is missing. You've got my five!


Very impressive recipe, I can see why it's Cosby's Favorite! = )


As I was reading through this, I was thinking the exact word Chihuahua said above - Wowee! This IS an impressive recipe (as Sunny mentions). It does sound extra-delicious! High 5! - Natalie


This is quite the recipe, I love the complexity from the different elements and variety of the chilies used. It has all of the flavors I like and the heat can be boosted to my liking, HOT! HOT! HOT!
Than you
