“This thick, slow-cooked chili is special to me because it ‘cooks itself’ while I’m at work. My family and friends love it. It’s really nice served with corn bread.” —Patricia Nieh, Portola Valley, California

This recipe is very tasty when made as stated! If you like a lot of heat, then add more chipotle peppers. My kids prefer less, so I cut down on them when making this. For something different, I sometimes brown polenta slices with a little olive oil or butter and use as a garnish along with cheese and sour cream. It's also good with the stew simply ladled on top of the fried polenta.

Great flavor! I did spice it up a bit by using black beans with diced jalepenos (I may cut that down next time though to 1 can reg, 1 can w/ jalepeno)! Served w/ homemade chili lime tortilla chips!

This recipe is very easy to make. My family loved this chili so much they want me to make more and freeze it for lunches. I used extra lean ground beef in my chili as that's what I had on hand. I cooked the beef first before I added it in the slow cooker.

Loved it! My kids aren't big fans of beans, so I used a 4# roast and the kids ate the meat and loved it.

The meat was very tender. It could have been spicier, but it had good flavor and was great with a little sour cream and cheese on top!

This was my first time making homemade chili, without those prepackaged mixes. The chipotle peppers in adobo sauce gave this the best flavor, and quite a kick! Everyone loved it, this one's a keeper.
