In what may go down as one of the mildest and warmest winters in Twin Cities history I still feel the need to eat copious amounts of soups, stews and chili. While it may be mild, it is still averaging in the high 20’s. Freezing by some people standards.
Scott requested a new chili and he wanted it smoky and spicy. That I can do. So I came up with this recipe and broke out chili powder and chipotle chili powder and paired with with fire roasted tomatoes with green chilies. Spicy enough for you?

Mmmm….spoky and spicy! Now you have my attention!
Scott didn’t even add hot sauce. So it was pretty spicy!
All you had to say was “chipotle” and I was with you. I’d love a little smoked paprika in there, too.
I thought about adding Smoked Paprika too but it was pretty spicy already and the fire roasted tomatoes did add a nice hint of smokiness.
