BEAR CREEKSoup Mix, Cheddar Potato, 11.5 Ounce

This chili tasted much better to me than my home-made chili or any popular canned chili that I have tried. The beans are smaller and tastier than the canned beans that I use for chili. It also has rice in it and tiny bits of bell pepper and onion that are not overwhelming (my husband hates onions but didn't notice them in it). It is not too hot or spicy (I added a little Pace picante sauce). You will need a small can of tomato paste. It doesn't have meat. I used cooked, crumbled, drained ground beef that I added during the last ten minutes. In addition, I cooked the recipe 20 minutes longer than the recipe instructions, per advice from other reviewers. I will continue to buy this in place of my own chili. It is slightly more liquid than standard chili, more like thick soup. It seemed to get thicker by the second day and tasted slightly better. It makes more than four servings.

Bear Creek is the best! This chili is really yummy. Not spicy. We find it to be on the "sweeter" side of chili so we add some green chili or jalapenos for a bit of a kick. And of course, top it off with sour cream, chopped red onion, and cheese! It is a thicker chili, we can stand our spoons up in it! Taste and convenience beats canned chili hands down! So much more closer to home made. Just a fan of Bear Creek. I am glad Amazon carrys it because it is not always available in grocery stores.

Beers Creeks Darn Good Chili is excellent for someone that loves chili but doesn't have all day to cook. Just brown your ground meat, (or other protein) add 5 cups of water and then the mix. Cook for about 30 minutes and it's a delicious meal. I like to add a can of black beans or pinto beans but that's just me.

This mix makes the best gumbo I’ve ever had. I usually add shrimp and andouille sausage. I have found over the years it’s getting harder and harder to find. I don’t know if it’s a manufacturing issue or what. But as it has become more scarce, the price has gone up. I really hope it will be available in the future. I would’ve given it five stars if the price hadn’t gone up so much.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Bear Creek Chili starter mix is the best for chili. I buy everything from Amazon & am so excited they have it,!

Love it! not real expensive but if I went to the store and bought all of the individual ingredients would be so much more.

Best Chili Mix Ever. Not too spicy yet favorable. I make two batches at once and have Chili parties for football just add cheese onion make in sourdough bowls

DELICIOUS & EASY TO MAKE!!
