This is now my new chili recipe! Delicious! I halved the recipe and substituted a bottle of beer for equal part of water and used half kidney beans and half pinto-in-chili sauce beans. I like my chili a bit thicker, so I added more flour disolved in water at the end. I served it with chopped onions, sour cream and warm flour tortillas. This has just the right amount of spice, in my opinion - I like it spicy! I think this recipe without the beans and meat mixed with some cheddar-jack cheese would make a great enchilada sauce... in fact, I might try that and create my own recipe. Thanks, Emily!

This was good but spicy. I left out the jalapenos and was still barely able to eat it. The flavor was great but it was more of a soup or a stew then chili. I would recommend cutting the water in half if you prefer a thicker consistency.

What a kick *SS Chili!! My wife and I love a good hot Chili and this surely did the trick. It was Hot and flavorful. Wouldn’t recommend it for kids though (too hot) Emily if you read this review, thank you for this recipe it is surely a repeat.

I left out the chipotle peppers, because I didn't have any. I added a little more salt and pepper and didn't puree the tomatoes because I like tomato chunks in my chili. We topped it with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onions and grated romano cheese. This was fantastic.

My husband and I made this on Sunday and it was perfect!! We didn't put in the whole can of chipotle peppers because we knew it would be too hot for our taste. This was a very good recipe so many flavors!!Yum! Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes a spicey flavorful chili!

Holy ****! They aren't kidding, this really is hot! I can eat just about anything, but next time I'll remove the chipotle seeds to make this a little more enjoyable. The flavor is excellent, though. I did have to substitute a couple of serrano peppers for the Jalapenos because I'd run out at the last minute, and I also pureed the peppers and onions because I don't like chunky chili. It turned out really thick and attractive, definitely worth a try.

I like my chili hot, and a big bowl of this really took care of business. I may use the recipe for our annual chile contest at work!
