I used a dried chipotle pepper in this chili along with one diced green pepper. I also added garlic powder and some extra cumin to spice up the soup. After about an hour of simmering I could barely taste the chipotle, so I fished it out and pureed it with some broth on the side, then slowly added the pureed mixture back into the chili testing for heat. Wow, that was the ticket! The chipotle added just enough heat and with the other spices it was fantastic. I simmered for a total of about an hour, then served it up with Pepperjack cheese grated on top. [Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag]

Very good, basic chili. I browned my turkey on the stovetop, but then put everything into the crockpot 6 hours. The chipotle gave it a nice, smoky flavor. Made for Spring 2011 PAC game.
