This classic recipe has an extra spicy twist to it. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did. It tastes even better the next day.

My husband tried this at a church dinner so I needed to find a recipe to fix it for him. We tried this one and all the way thru he kept telling me it's not right, until he took his 1st bite. Now he loves it and said it needs to go into our regular rotation. Thanks for giving us a great meal!Reply

Good basic recipe but I made changes due to what I had on hand. Be careful and only add salt 1 t. at a time. Mine was way to salty until I added some canned tomatoes. Here is what I did:<br/>I thought this was a too salty. I would use only 1t. salt next time. I added: 3 cloves garlic (that I sauteed with the onion), precooked chicken, extra water, 1c. white beans, 2 c. kidney beans, 1 can pureed Italian style tomatoes, and I skipped on the chipotle pepper and the heavy cream. I served with a dollop of sour cream, wedges of avocado, and a few crushed tortilla chips. Pretty tasty. Next time I would also double the recipe so that we would have leftovers.Reply

Outstanding...I found this recipe so that I could use some of my fast growing cilantro and it was wonderful. I did add some cilantro to the beans before I placed them in the food processor for a little extra flavor. Far tastier and lighter than regular chili.Reply

Awesome is the only word to describe this chili! I used jalapenos in place of the chipotle pepper, to tone down the heat a little. We aren't wimps, but we aren't fire eating dragons either! This has 5***** written all over it, but more like 10!Reply -
