Craving all of the comfort foods today.
And for me, that means chili. So this Chipotle Chili did not disappoint.
Growing up, my dad used to make the BEST chili. We would request that he make it at LEAST once a month, and even still we couldn’t get enough.
And now that I live with my husband, it is now him that requests that I make chili at least once a month. I guess making good chili is genetic or something, because John says it is one of his favourite things that I make. Specifically, my Instant Pot Chili. That one is his all time favourite. But he says that this one is pretty close.
What do you need to make this Chipotle Chili?
Honestly, not much. All you need is:
- Italian sausage

It’s defintiely chili season and I love the sound of this recipe! Give me all the spicy flavor!
Yes!! So good 🙂
Hi, Iam making this chili, and you mention chili powder but don’t give an amount. How much?
So sorry!! I think I add it to taste, but I will try to remake it over the holidays and get back to you!
5 tbsp of cumin, seems a lot, especially as cumin can be a very dominant flavour.
Also how many does this recipe serve?
Oh my goodness, I am so glad you caught this!! It’s supposed to be chili powder, it is changed now!
