Emily's Famous Chili

By: HBIC

"This is a spicy but flavorful chili made with meat! Children may want to eat something else for dinner because this is just too spicy! Dollop some sour cream on top when serving to soften the blow to your tastebuds when you experience my chili masterpiece!"

4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup chili powder
1/4 cup ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
4 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans with liquid
1 (14.5 ounce) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes
1 (7 ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 quart water, divided

In a large pot over medium-high heat, cook beef until brown. Drain and return to pot. Stir in onions, bell peppers and jalapenos and cook until tender. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute more.
