I agree it needed some adjustments, I did add twice the garlic and double the chili powder and added more veggie broth, some onion powder, garlic powder some cayenne pepper and added a can of rotel in addition to the tomato sauce and diced tomatoes, definitely needed salt, and cumin was really good in it, added green chilis and it was good, my husband had 2 big helpings, he said it was a keeper!
