NOT a Burger ...

But the best tasting Chili we have had ... in a long time. The recipe is from Tyler Florence and the foodnetwork.com website. This is actually the second batch of this chili we have made. And this batch is much better than the first. Mainly because I did not make it as HOT as the first batch.

The recipe calls for 1 chipolte chili pepper in adobo sauce. You can buy those little cans in the mexican food aisle of the grocery store. They are HOT. The recipe also calls for one-half jalapeno pepper. Well, I had the great idea to add 3 of the chipolte chilis since I did not have a jalapeno pepper. Was that ever a BIG MISTAKE! We burned for a while after finishing eating. The flavor of the chili was fantastic ... but just too darn hot.

So today we made the same recipe, but this time I stuck to the exact quantities, and what a great chili it made. We are trying very hard to save it for the big game tomorrow, but it tasted really good ... we may have to make another batch.
