    Awesome Looking Chili !!

    Chili is just one of those things I struggle with, my achilles heel--seems I can follow a recipe to a T and still miss---then I can nail other things that some struggle with :s
    I'm with you.  Chili is not strong point.  I finally came up with something last year after about 8-10 attempts that was not only serviceable but pretty darned good.  Can't find the recipe now!  Go figure.  I may have to try this one as it looks really good.  For those of you that have made it, any thoughts on including some chipotle peppers in adobo sauce?  I used that in my last few batches last year and they really added to the depth of flavor.  
    Honestly, if you make this recipe, I would leave it as is without putting in the chipotle. That might complicate the flavor. 
    Nonsense.  I've made variants of this recipe a bunch of times, and chipotles in adobo make it even better.  Go easy though, depending on your audience, they get spicy quick.
    Well I've been known to be wrong a coupla times. ;)
  • I would at least try the recipe like it's written. It's won awards the way it is. I'm just saying.

    Absolutely. I make every recipe as is the first time and then go from there.

    I have used this recipe a few times.  Awesome.  I will try the @DoubleEgger approach.  I am doing a brisket for tomorrow night.  Since it is sooo cold up here in MI lately (48 on my way in to work this morning), chili sounds great!
