This chili is a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loves it.

I love the smoky flavor that the chipotle peppers add to this chili.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover beef. I always have a few pieces of steak or roast beef in the freezer, and this is a great way to use them up.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chili turned out great. It was a little spicy for my taste, so next time I will reduce the amount of cayenne pepper.

This chili is easy to make and so delicious. I love that I can just throw it all in the slow cooker and let it cook all day.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of beer, but I'm so glad I did. The beer really mellows out the heat of the chili and gives it a really nice flavor.

I love that this recipe uses dark beer. It gives the chili a really rich, deep flavor.

This recipe is a total hit! The flavors are so bold and complex, and the beef is fall-apart tender. I served it with sour cream, shredded cheese, and diced avocado, and it was a huge success.
