  1. I made half of this recipe and served five. I also used ground turkey instead of beef and no-salt-added tomatoes. The salt from the beans is enough to season the entire pot.

  2. This recipe sounds good, I make a similar one but use tomato soup, and grn peppers that are chopped, I do not use the oregano,I use paprika. I prepare it the same way though, I think that Chili always taste better the next day, I like crumbled saltine crackers on mine.
