Great chili! I modified it slightly, adding an entire red bell pepper about an hour before serving to ensure my vegetable picky husband ate some. I also found that adding frozen corn into my bowl and then spooning hot chili on top of it was amazing (thawed and warmed it instantly). My husband and I also agreed that the chili needed more chipotle peppers and adobo sauce, but it was a battle for him because they're spicy. I added 2 more peppers and shredded cheddar to my own dish. Excellent.
