Rave rave reviews. Three thoughts: #1 - I added 2 cups of top quality crab meat and people went absolutely nuts over it. #2 - Adding 1.5 bunches or so of chopped green onions works well. #3 - I haven't done it myself yet, but there is no way adding some shredded cheddar would be anything but delicious.
This is my go-to chili recipe. Now on year four and batch number 20 or so, I have a few unique tips to add. #1 - Add a tablespoon of strong mustard powder (can't go wrong with Colman's). Depending on how much of a kick you're looking for, this can be in addition to doubling the wasabi powder as other reviewers have suggested or as an alternative to that extra tablespoon of wasabi.
#2 - Also, this recipe has no shortage of ingredients to begin with, but try adding a cup of cider (or even mulled cider) to the pot. It adds a bit of tartness and a bit of sweetness and is a wonderful, comforting complement to the chili, particularly when eating it on cold day.
