Anyone have a suggestion on an all day crock pot time for this? My husband and I are finally on the same schedule starting this school year and I am looking for yummy crock pot ideas. He would love this but it sounds like a great crock pot idea…

My go-to chili recipe! I use Corona and serve with Mission Tortilla Strips and shredded Monterey Jack instead of cheddar.

A new favorite of my whole family. We are wimps though, and can only handle one chipotle pepper.

Yum! My boyfriend doesn’t care for spicy food (and by doesn’t care for, I mean he gets an upset stomach). Note that green peppers are considered spicy food. (Yes, really.) Nor does he like beer (more for me!). So I toned this down a little by omitting the title ingredient of chipotle peppers. However, with the onion, garlic, chili powder, and cumin, there was a lot of great flavor. Instead of beer, I used hard cider, which I thought worked very well. As I don’t care for kidney beans, I went with white (cannellini) and black beans. My grocery store didn’t have masa harina, so I used medium grind cornmeal and it worked great. Even though I clearly deviated from the recipe, I think I adhered to the spirit of it and I was thrilled with the results. The boyfriend’s comment: “Hearty and delicious” and he’s looking forward to leftovers for lunch.

PLEASE TRY THIS RECIPE! I’m in love with this chili and pretty much any recipe that involves using peppers in adobo sauce. I will definitely use the whole can of peppers next time it could have been spicier. I also want to try stout beer, lager worked well this time for me, though. Confession: i used cornmeal instead of masa harina because masa harina comes in 5 pound bags which is about 4.97 more pounds of masa harina than i need in my house (or something like that, math’s not my thing). It worked fine and want even necessary because the chili was plenty thick without it. Love!
