This is your basic chili recipe. I mean, for the price who can complain really. It’s an excellent deal and way to feed a crowd without a lot of hassle and costing an arm and leg. Everyone’s taste buds are different so you might have to add ingredients to get it to your liking. Even if you have to tweak it, it’s still cheaper than making it from Scratch. This was served over hot dogs and I received no complaints. Unlike other brands, Stagg does not cheat you on beef. The first thing I noticed was how much was in each can, impressive! Also, it freezes beautifully, so don’t throw out the extras. I highly recommend this product. And will purchase again. Helpful tip: cook this low and slow, or it will burn to the bottom of your pan and ruin the taste. Slow cooker on low stirring occasionally is probably the best way to prepare. Take advantage of this great deal, I’m glad I did.

These cans were shipped together in the same box with very little packaging materials, so needless to say...ALL of them are heavily dented on the top & sides of each can!! Two of them can't even be opened because they are so badly dented! And the other two have deep dents on the outside of them...again not usable!!!

I've eaten other Stagg brand chili (small cans) and it is great, this, this is overpriced "austex" chili (at best). My brother pointed out that the burnt chili you get at Sonic (when they scrape the bottom of the cooker) taste better than this, and I can't disagree with him. There is not enough bad things I can say about this, I would be hard pressed to choose between liquid drano and this junk if you had a gun pointed at my puppy.

I've been tasting all the canned chilis that Sam's carries. I rank them as follows, best to worst: Wolf, Chef Mate, Hormel and Stagg. The last two are tied for last, the first two just taste better. I base this on flavor only. Each have their strong suit. Some are meatier than others, but for overall flavor, it's Wolf. Wolf has the least amount of meat chunks, but a really delicious base chili flavor. Concerning Stagg and what it has going for it, it is one of the few "no bean" chilis that's all beef, no pork. Several other brands use beef and pork, which isn't a dealbreaker to me, but some people want all beef. Stagg also has the highest fat content, making it the most caloric. That said, the problem I have isn't the calories or the amount of beef, it's the flavor. This is not a good tasting chili to me. It has a bitterness that I don't think should be there. The amount of chili pepper is OK, it's mild which is fine (you can always spice it up), and it's meaty enough, but the flavor is disappointing. I had to add some diced tomatoes just to try to make the gravy more palatable. I honestly expected Stagg to be the best. Unfortunately, I won't be buying this again.

I love Stag Chili the only Chili I buy I wish you could bring it back to the Sam’s store

Perfect for chili dogs and nachos at school fundraiser!

We buy this each week for chili dogs and nachos. It sells well and we've had lots of compliments on it's taste, but I'll be looking for it in a smaller can next time. We waste too much of it each week.

Easy preparation, very tasty.a picnic favorite ,great alone or on top of hot dogs

Good for a pot luck or family gathering
