Bold, rich and spicy…Chili, not your dream date here people. Focus. Chili, one of the most simple, comforting, cheap and versatile meals for the fall and winter months. You can make a large batch and freeze it for later too!<\/p>\n

Now, I am not going to go into the different types of Chili in this post, but come back later, we will sample a few of the most argued over ways to cook chili.\u00a0 My Chili is simple. It does have beans. That is all. Find it here<\/a>\u00a0or continue reading and it will follow this post below.<\/p>\n

Smokey! That is never how I would have described the Chili I ate growing up, but it is how I like it now. Once introduced to Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce through a lot of southern and Mexican cooking, it seemed to be the missing burst of flavor in a lot of my dishes. It can be subtle, mild or hot, the control is in my rubber gloved hands…and how long I can keep my eyes from burning.<\/p>\n

Did\u00a0 you know that a Chipotle is simply a smoked, dried jalapeno pepper?<\/p>\n

I decided to raid the cupboard of the cans of beans and tomatoes I keep stocked.<\/p>\n

And so it began…Enjoy!<\/p>\n
