"This chili recipe has earned us two blue ribbons! It's our sole recipe with just two tweaks: a whole bottle of Guinness and two cans of spicy chili beans, slow-cooked all day in our large slow cooker," shares a thrilled Allrecipes member. "Fantastic!"

"My daughters and I used this recipe in the Girl Scout Father-Daughter Chili contest and won 'Best Overall Chili' among 30 contestants," shares a reviewer.

"I've consecutively triumphed in my workplace chili contests with this recipe," shares an Allrecipes member. "It’s incredibly delicious and a true winner. Some argue against adding brown sugar, but that opinion comes from those who don't win."

Incredible! This recipe secured me the top spot at my company’s annual chili cook-off. It vanished too quickly to meet the craving. Amazing indeed!
