[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Classic. The go to canned chili for quick dinners, dips, and snacks. I serve this over rice, on nachos, in chili cheese dip and more. It is good alone, too. I love to keep at east a few cans in the pantry at all times.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this chili! This is perfect for a quick meal or to throw over some nachos! It has a great taste and we love the texture! I was aware of the Hormel brand before and this was our reminder on what we've been missing! We will purchase in the future and I would recommend this chili!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] amazing flavors and just the right amount of beans. Hormel brand chili is a favorite in my house. The chili with beans is what i like to use on my chili and rice bowls then top with cheese and onion.... what an amazing meal.

.I've been eating Hormel's chili with beans for, essentially, forever. It was the best chili out there, better than many restaurant chilis. But just pulled a can of "new recipe" off the shelf and heated it up. Awful. Too tomatoey, or too something, don't know, but couldn't continue eating it and threw it away. How about making the old chili as an option for all of us loyal customers?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I cooked this can as it stated on the label. It was pretty good. The family enjoyed it better with crackers and some shredded cheese. I'm not a big bean person but it didn't have as many as I thought.

I recently bought a can of chili as I always try to keep a can or two on hand for weekend nights when I don't feel like cooking. It took me a little while to buy the product because the labels were not the original Hormel label that I had been used to for years. You see I am 41 years old and have always been a picky eater. My tastebuds haven't changed in my older years. Hormel chili has always been the only canned chili I will eat. There are no surprises, no onions, no peppers just good ole plain chili until now. I finally bought the can that said no beans like I always get i thought well maybe the label just changed. I know after years of the same packaging sometimes changes are made. But when I opened the can last night I began to realize not only did the label change but also the product. There where small green peppers of some sort. Which have never been there before. I don't eat any kind of peppers in my food and I have been eating this same chili since I was a little girl. So I decided maybe I'll just try it ...well it was horrible not the same Hormel chili that I have grown to love since I was little. So I threw the can away in disbelief that a product could just totally change the recipe. So to makers of Hormel you have ruined a perfectly good product! Hopefully your sales will decline and you will be forced to change the recipe back to its original form.

First, I truly respect Hormel for allowing people to post their reviews even when they are not so positive. Like other reviewers, I've enjoyed Hormel Chili for two decades, especially the Chunky with Beans, Hot with Beans and the Tabasco product which I haven't seen in awhile. For the past month I've been trying to figure out what the heck is going on. Did I get a bad batch of Hot with Beans? I prayed it wasn't a new recipe. Last night I pulled out a can of Chunky that was probably purchased six months ago and it suffered from the exact same issue, so I strongly suspect a permanent change. It's not subtle, either. With the old recipe there would be natural separation of ingredients: maybe three quarters of an inch of briny water on the top with the beans and meat packed into the rest of the can. It was a fine product and never varied in quality. Now it is like the product is suspended uniformly in a sauce that is more like oily ketchup. Another reviewer, I think, described it better when he/she said it's like Marinara sauce or some kind of sweet marinade. All I could think of to describe it is that it's like dipping your spoon into a can of ketchup with beans suspended throughout the sauce, but I never got to the bottom because all three times now I had to throw it straight away after that first spoonful or two of sauce. Just writing these words makes my stomach muscles spasm. Who knows why these changes were made? Maybe there's some cost savings, or some change in the supply chain? I see that Hormel is denying there's been any recipe change, but if there's one group of people whose taste buds are attuned to differences, it's chili aficionados--and I am NOT a chili aficionado. Fortunately, in my garage there are about three cases of the old stuff. But once those cans are gone, that's going to be it for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used this on hot dogs and it was a huge hit! We really liked it on our hot dogs! We usually dont get chilli with beans so this was really different for us. But the taste was great and the beans added extra flavor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great taste and quick meal when you don't have much time. Just pop it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or about 5 minutes on the stove top and your chili is done. Best tasting canned chili I have tried.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great for a quick, warm bowl of chili! My children love being able to have a warm bowl of chili when they come home from school or a quick and easy weekend lunch. It also makes a great addition to other dishes, such as saucy burritos.
