For a richer flavor, prepare the chili a day in advance and refrigerate overnight. The flavors will meld together beautifully. Serve over baked potatoes, corn chips, or alongside your favorite chili toppings such as sour cream, shredded cheese, and chopped onions. Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers to control the spiciness. Start with less and add more to taste. Consider adding a can of drained and rinsed black beans or kidney beans for added texture and heartiness.
