We have been making this recipe without corn for years. It is the only recipe we use. We love it, and everyone who eats it loves it. I have given this one out many times.

We like spicy food, but 4T of chili powder made this dish unedible for us.

I don't know what kind of chili powder you are using but many of them are not hot at all. I have followed this recipe for years (many of them with Gebhardt's when it was available in bulk; it is not hot), and always used 4 tbs.

Consumer Reports original ingredients are different than this recipe - The original makes a very hearty and flavorful chili.

1 pound ground beef
1 clove garlic minced
1 large (or 2 Medium) onions chopped
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
8 med tomatoes (peeled-quartered)
2 - 12 oz kidney beans, canned
1 tablespoon chili powder
½ teaspoon salt or to taste
(½ cup water is rarely needed as the liquid from the canned beans and cooked tomatoes are sufficient)
Be careful not too use too much green pepper. The other spices were not in the original recipe and can overwhelm the other ingredients. If you like more fire add a little more chili powder.

This does seem to be the recipe that i remember.

Since this appeared sometime between 1975 and 1980, almost fifty years ago, Consumer Reports may have performed another review of canned chilis and also created new reference recipe. So there may be more than one consumer reports recipe.

Per the Consumer Reports website, it published its iconic chili recipe in 1990. They've recently updated it to use leaner beef and reduce the sodium. Otherwise, it's the same recipe. Note: The original did not include corn.
Enjoy! See it here: https://www.consumerreports.org/health/healthy-eating/is-chili-good-for-you-a8713219751/

The cumin, allspice and coriander WERE in the original recipe, which i've been using for over 30 years. Consumer Reports Chili has been a family favorite this whole time, and I've entered it into several chile competitions. The corn is a new item. I'm shocked to hear anyone thinks four Tablespoons of chile powder is too spicy in this recipe.

I substitute crushed tomatoes with seasoned stewed tomatatoes (diced) to increase flavor. Ummmm. It's also better after setting in the fridge a couple days so the flavors can mingle - it reduces the heat too, as I think the beans absorb and dilute it.

Very good!

The one I remember didn't have corn.
