CHILI? Packet Seasoning or Bush's Chili Magic Mix?

[mommy2emily]

6-8 inches of snow tonight so I thought tomorrow will be a good chili day. I usually use the packet of chili seasoning, but I bought Bush's Chili Magic (Beans, seasoning and sauce) so should I use both or just the Chili Magic?
Have you used the chili magic and did you like it?

We always just use the chili magic - we love it - sometimes we add in an extra can of black beans to stretch the meal, but the flavoring in chili magic is really good!!

we live in Tn and go sort of a back way into Pigeon Forge...Bush's has a FREE museum that is really nice and fun(I believe the area is called Chestnut Hill,although being from this area I always thought it was part of Cosby)...shows their history and their old, as well as new products and how they process it all(and of course Duke the dog is the star). They have a nice gift shop with candies,kitchen items, and soybean candles.They also had a small cafe that had what seemed like home cooking pretty cheap....I like the dry chile packets(store brand), but then I try to buy the Bush beans to put in...sometimes I get them even if they are a bit more as I feel like I am helping folks in our area. If you go to Pigeon Forge you could definitely spend a couple hours there between the restaurant/store/Museum

I usually don't use any pre-made mixes..just a bit of chili powder from the spice isle and a lot of V8 spicy hot juice (it's not very spicy at all).

Our favorite recipe for Chili is made the Cincinnati way, but that takes time..so our favorite fast chili is definately Chili-Magic. It has a great flavor!!

The Chili Magic has great flavor - but I can only find it at Wegman's near me.
Yesterday I made chili in the crockpot and it was delicious - didn't have the Chili Magic.

This recipe calls for 3lbs of beef, so adjust accordingly.

Brown beef in skillet, drain, and transfer to crockpot.
Add the following:
2 cans red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
2 cans petite diced tomatoes, with juice
1 can tomato sauce
1 diced onion
1 diced green pepper
2 tablespoons chili powder
1.5 tablespoons cumin
1.5 tablespoons brown sugar
salt & pepper
tobasco to taste

cook on low for 6-8 hours, 15 minutes before serviing mix 2-3 tablespoons
cornstarch with cold water, add to chili, let cook for the 15 minutes. Serve
over rice and garnish with shredded cheddar/green onion/sour cream.

OT - but we go by there on our way to Pigeon Forge too! We stopped one day but it was just before closing so we didn't get a chance to see much.
