Notes

This recipe has mild spice flavor. If you want to make a spicier chili, double the chili powder and chipotle powder to 3 teaspoons each.
We love this chili topped with green onions, sour cream, and freshly shredded cheddar cheese. We usually top it with crumbled cornbread, too! Don't knock it until you try it!
