Great recipe !! I've made it before but never rated it. This time I'm making it for a neighbor hood chili cook off. Make this recipe, you won't be disappointed !!!!

Oh, by far a great chili recipe. The Chipotle Seasoning and the Cocoa, add very unique flavors! And, what took us so long to add corn to chili? It is very easy to make and feeds a crowd. Great to serve when having friends over for cards or a perfect potluck dish. I take the left overs to work for my lunch. Very hearty and yummy! Thanks, Sharon!

Wow! We have eaten a lot of chilis & we now have two favorites, one for turkey & this one for beef. Amazing flavor in this combination! It's got a little heat but that can all be controlled to suit individual tastes without sacrificing the overall enjoyment. The recipe looks like a lot of ingredients but it was actually very little work. Most of my time was spent draining cans. ;) We loved the wide variety of beans & the addition of corn in this recipe, but the best part had to be the sweet & sassy chipotle aroma that filled the house during the 3 hours I had it simmering on the stove. After the first bite, DS (15 yrs) claimed that it was his "all-time favorite" chili recipe. I made 1/2 the recipe for 3 of us & a toddler & that gave us plenty for dinner & another dinner and a lunch vacuum packed & frozen for later. This would be a perfect OAMC recipe. Next time I'll make a full recipe (using two dutch ovens) and we'll have awesome chili on hand for months! Thanks for sharing your recipe, Sharon! We'll be making it again & again! Made & enjoyed for Pick A Chef, Spring 2009.
