 Darn good indeed!May 30, 2007
By Cyn
Bear Creek Darn Good Chili Mix is just that - darn good! The instructions to turn this mix into chili or dip are clear and concise, and include suggestions for "doctoring" it up. Following the directions to the letter will result in a meatless (but not vegetarian - read the ingredient list) chili that is flavorful but not too spicy. I especially love the variety of beans included. My suggestion for perfect chili: add a half pound of spicy turkey sausage (mild is too sweet) and a half pound of lean ground beef. Brown the meat first then add water as indicated on the package (don't increase or decrease the water measure) and follow the directions from there. Yum!

GRRRRREEEAAATTTTNov 10, 2006
By Randall Cornelius
"stereo buff"
I got my first package of the chili mix, from my sister-in-law. I did not know what I was in for, but gave it a try. I made it according to directions, and threw in some browned hamburger. The smell filled the room, as it boiled, and simmered. I was not disappointed, with the way it tasted. I don't like my chili spicey, and this one fit the bill exactly, as it has just the right amount of spices and herbs. I have tried a lot of chili, in a lot of places, and I will say that this is the best MIX that I have ever tried. I would definitely recommend this for camping trips. The 9.8 ounce bag, says that it makes 8 servings, but depending on how hungry your crew is, might only feed four.

 "Darn Good" Chili Kicked UpDec 18, 2009
By Byron Lucas
Bear Creek "Darn Good" Chili is some of the best chili I've ever had. It is quick and easy by just following the instructions on the back of the packet. My family enjoys chili just a little spicier and a little meatier so I've added a few items to kick the chili up another notch. So here it is....
(2) packs of Bear Creek "Darn Good" Chili Mix
(2) cans of Tomato Paste
(2) cans of Rotel Tomatoes
(2) Small Onions (Chopped)
(1) Bellpepper (Chopped)
(4) cloves of Garlic (Chopped)
(1.5) lbs. of Ground Beef or Ground Chuck
(2) lbs. of Smoked Sausage (Finely Chopped)
Hint of Cayenne Pepper (To your taste)
Hint of liquid smoke
In a large pot, add both chili mixes to boiling water (As directed), then add the tomato paste. Stir well and turn fire down to a medium heat. In a large sauce pan, brown your ground beef and chopped sausage, then add to your pot. In the same large sauce pan, saute chopped onion, bellpeppers, and garlic (10-15 min) and then add to your pot. Add the Rotel Tomatoes, turn heat down to a simmer and let cook about 30 minutes (Stirring occasionally). Add cayenne pepper to taste and a hint of Liquid Smoke and let simmer for about 30 more minutes (Still stirring). In this last few minutes while the chili is cooking, bake up your favorite cornbread (I like "Jiffy"). Gather your family and friends for a "Darn Good" Chili time.
Recipe is even better in a CrockPot.....And I don't know why I added the Liquid Smoke (But it worked)
Hope ya like it!!!

Oh my gosh, so darn good!Jan 31, 2011
By Shopaholic
I recently discovered Darn Good Chili Mix at a local store. It is tasty just using the directions on the bag, which is just the chili mix, water, and a can of tomato paste. It makes roughly 8 cups of chili, which is enough for the 3 adults in our family. If you're following the new 2011 Weight Watchers plan, 1 cup of chili is 2 points when made according to those directions.
However, I like it better as a base for my own chili. Here is how I make it:
2 lbs of ground sirloin (90% lean)
1 lbs of ground venison (or substitute more ground beef)
1 large sweet onion, chopped
2 large green peppers, chopped
5 or 6 heaping teaspoons of fresh minced garlic (I use the jarred garlic that needs refrigerated)
Toss all of the above in a large skillet, and cook over medium heat until meat is done. Drain any grease and sit aside.
In a large pot, add 14 cups of water. Bring to a boil.
Whisk in 2 bags of Darn Good Chili Mix, and 2 cans of tomato paste. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes.
After 15 minutes, add:
15 oz can dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
15 oz can light red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
28 oz can of diced tomatos
28 oz can of Rotel tomatoes
Meat mixture
Stir together and continue to simmer for another 20 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes.
This makes a lot of chili. My 8 1/2 quart pot was nearly full. I always make extra chili so I can freeze part of it for a future meal.

Very Tasty Chili!!!Apr 03, 2008
By S. Prescott
"domestic zookeeper"
This is sooo tasty and very low in calories. So many low cal foods don't have much flavor but this one has both. I made a couple of changes - because I love the flavor of tomatoes I decreased the water from 7 cups to 6 cups and added a 15 oz. can of diced tomatoes to the water. I also added a can of black beans (drained)to it. I was trying to keep the calories down so didn't add meat but imagine that would be good also. Try it....
