HELP! chili too tomato-ey

[FrankZ]

Sounds about right for the chipotles but too many beans.

That's ok cause I'm entering the chili flavored stew category!

BTW, 2 chipotles wasn't enough so I added another (large) one, as well as some Hershey's chocolate. After it was all done cooking I tasted it and it could use more spice. I suppose it will taste more spicey tomorrow though.

I pureed the remainder of the can (about 2/3) with a can of tomatoes to freeze and will add the whole thing next time I make chili.

Glad it worked out for you. Of course with spice it helps to sneak up on it instead o finding out it will mug you.

An update on the chili cook-off. There are 8 or so pots of chili, and all of them have beans from what I can see. What can I say, I'm in Virginia and I guess we love beans!

Good luck with your entry. Let us know how it all turns out.

Didn't win, or even get second place. Most entries were pretty spicy. I'm ok with it though. I got many compliments on it, and mine was the first entry to be gone when they opened it up for general consumption. Next time I will put more chipotles and other peppers! I'll no doubt check out the competition recipes too.
