Thanks for the great recipe. I made this last month on my solar cooker and my kids loved it so much we have made it again. We are batch cooking it (about 3 times your basic recipe) and followed the recipe except for half of the jalapenos the first time. The second time I used dry beans (about twice the recipe to stretch it) and double the chili powder to make up for flavor lost in the canned beans. This coming weekend we will make another large batch for family on the solar cooker again at our family picnic. Thanks again, I love chili, but this has had us eating it at least once a week without growing tired.
