*I halved the recipe since the amount would be way too much for our family of 4, it still made a HUGE pot and I'll have plenty of leftover chili for weekday lunches*

  5. Finally made this tonight! It was a complete hit with everyone. I substituted beans for the corn in the chili and left out the corn in the dumplings. Added some red pepper flakes, too.

    Yum!
