Founded in 1996, years before Google and the term blogger existed, RecipeLand.com™ was created to answer an elusive question faced by home cooks everywhere.
What recipes can I make with these ingredients?
Tired of buying ingredients for new recipes every time you cook? Imagine if you could type what ingredients you have into a recipe finder, and it would only show you recipes based on what you already have. No more wasted food, save time, save money.
Now you too can find recipes by ingredients and save your favorites in your own recipe box.
Fast-forward 29 years and Recipeland™ is a family affair, exclusively run by Sean, Zhangbo, and their daughter Keira.

RecipeLand, stands out from other recipe websites, many of which have been acquired by large corporations and turned into clickbait machines. Instead of bombarding you with endless scrolling before you get to recipes, you will find the tools you need to easily search and find the exact recipe you're looking for. Our goal is to make your recipe search process as efficient and enjoyable as possible.
Family owned and operated we are kept busy testing recipes in the RecipeLand.com kitchen and shooting photographs of the final main dish in the RecipeLand.com studio.
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.

Thank you Sherri! I was looking for this.
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.
