Very close to my Chili recipe. I use lean steak instead of hamburger. Still it looks like a recipe I would try. Thanks

Mine was delicious, but pretty watery even after cooking it over low heat for about 30 minutes. Any suggestions?

great recipe

thanx for the recipe

I love Cooking Chilli as the weather gets cooler, always great to have healthy options. Im a sucker for lean turkey chilli and the best part is that you can make this in larger portions and have several clean meals for the next several days!

Just prepared this today with turkey breast! AMAZING! Thanks

wow this recipe sounds amazing. thanks for the recipe

Tried this today! First time using buffalo in anything besides burgers! It tasted fantastic! Let it all sit in the crockpot for about 5 hours. Thanks for the recipe!

sounds really good. i think I'm going to try this one out
