We absolutely loved this recipe. This will be the only one that I use from now on. I do recommend cutting back on the chipotle peppers...they are SUPER HOT!!!!

I made this chili for work for about 20 guys. I followed everything but the meat...I used ground beef and pork instead. I made it for 24 servings which filled my 6-quart slow cooker to the rim. Every drop of it was gone within 15 minutes. Everyone said it was by far the best chili they ever had. Hot and spicy but not overly so. Was a GIGANTIC hit with everyone!!!
