Who says a good chili has to simmer all day? This zippy chili- with a touch of sweetness from the baked beans- can be made on the spur of the moment. It's an excellent standby when unexpected guests drop in. Served with bread and a salad, it's a hearty dinner everyone raves about.

Baked Bean Chili

beef

(28 ounces each) baked beans

(46 ounces) tomato juice

(11-1/2 ounces) V8 juice

chili seasoning

Sour cheddar cheese and sliced jalapenos

I have been using this recipe for years but I do it in my crock pot. I have changed it some , first I like my chili hot, I have added ghost peppers in the past but most can't handle that so I use 4 jalapeno peppers chopped up and 2 heaping tablespoons of Asian garlic chili paste, I don't use the salsa, and use 3 cans of the beans,and I guess at most of the other ingredients,  I don't use water, instead beef broth, I add the celery and other vegetables but use red bell pepper instead of green, and I also put chocolate in mine ,about 1/4 cup nestle toll house morsels instead of sugarI just won a chili contest at work that had 2 pds of ground round and a pound of hot Italian sausage in it. I just got done getting a batch in my crockpot with venison which I've done before, 2 pda ground and a pound or so of cut up steak, this I have done beforeThis is beter than any chili I have tried,LOL, using baked beans and tomato juice or v-8 ? Ya I could see why that might be a little sweet

This was super easy and pretty good, but a little too sweet for my liking. Was I supposed to drain the baked beans??? I didn&#39;t add all the tomato &amp; V8 juice because I didn&#39;t want it to be too watery.

great meal added chili rotel tomatoes and onions great recipe

This has been my family&#39;s favorite chili recipe for years!

I do not like kidney beans, chili beans, navy beans....This is my favorite chili recipe!!!!

My husband hates kidney beans so i could never make chili. With this recipe i can make chili all the time.

My husband really enjoyed this meal.  It was simple to make. I plan on making this for a church pot luck.
