One of my go-to recipes. We love the spice…and the grits. I make just as directed usually. Sometimes I do mac and cheese if I don’t have grits.

yeah. My poor husband cannot take any heat, so I left out the chipotle AND the chilis (I know, what’s the point)–added 3 T tomato paste, kept the spices the same–it was really good. Just not too spicy

I was unsure about this recipe because I’ve never really had a dish like this but I am so gladI took the risk! This was amazing. I went ahead and make cheese grits like i normally do (without peppers) which took a lot less time and cut the heat considerably so it wasn’t overly spicy.

I made this on a cold fall day and it was absolutely perfect! I followed the directions and made it as spicy as called for and while it was fairly hot, it was delicious! And those grits – TO DIE FOR! I had some coarse grits given to me by a family member who lives in Charleston – I’m going to ask for more for Christmas!

This tasted amazing. Our additions happened based on the time of year I tried it – harvest time. I added about 1/2 tomato sauce and about 1T of local honey. I also used some of our excess poblanos instead of red bell pepper. Amazing.

Loved this! But CAUTION very spicy – I cut the heat in half (1/2 the Chipotle in Adobo Sauce and 1/2 the Chili Powder) and it was still too much for my very scandinavian family to handle. I asked them – “So, I guess I never make this again? Huh?” to which I got the response – “Please make this again, just cut the heat a little more!” Will do – and perhaps pump up the thickness of the sauce then w/ canned Enchilada Sauce. (Mine never thickened due to the reduction of peppers.) Eating leftovers w/ a Sunnyside up egg this morning! YUM! Thanks Ree – this is a WINNER!

Based on the other reviews, we went ahead and removed the seeds from the chipotles. It still had a good bit of heat and we really enjoyed it. Super easy!

Oh my days. So, so good. Watch out, this is a bit spicy for the young’uns. I only used half a can of chipotle and still got some “it’s too hot” complaints. But the flavor…..amazing!

Made a slightly modified version of this tonight. Was very tasty! Warning……be careful with those Chipotle peppers …..SPICY is correct!
