"I" is for incredible. But you have got to have a pressure cooker to save time and because you?ll want to make more once the pot is licked clean.

A Uncle of mine used to make something similar, he called it Chili Colorado, and he made it beef only and it wasn?t as thick of a sauce.

And by the way for those of you looking for beans, forget it, this is a meat only masterpiece!

The recipe is optimized for the amount of meat listed, if you use more then you?ll need to adjust the spices accordingly to get the same flavor. Once I used the same amount of spices for the 3# listed but I had 5# of meat, I should have known. It was good just wasn?t the same flavor or color. So if you have more meat go ahead and double the dry ingredents on the recipe, trust me you?ll like the favor.

Also take the time and make AB?s chili power, that store bought stuff isn?t worth a hill of beans. I suggest you serve with tortillas and refried beans, it make a very hardy meal in a matter of minutes. I make mine with Pork only, my wife and kids don't eat beef, the flavor is still out of this world.

It looks like I will be making many batches of this in the future. My husband raved, "Bravo, the best you ever made!!" It is a very easy recipe and I did use the Chili Powder suggested by Alton from that episode. The fragrant full body aroma of the powder is out of this world. I catch myself stealing a quick sniff from my stash. I highly recommend this recipe for it's ease and bold flavor. I used beans, I couldn't resist.

I used a Dutch Oven instead of a pressure cooker and let it simmer for 6 hours. Absolutely amazing. It was probably ready to eat after 3 hours, but we had the time so we let it go. The guys at the firehouse were equally impressed and since this just sits on the stove all day, we could run calls and not have to worry about it.

This is a simple recipe with what I would call a hidden benefit. You can easily adjust this recipe to your taste. For instance you can control the spice level by your choice of salsa or changing the number of chipoltes you use. If you like beans then just long-soak some kidney beans and/or black beans and put them in the pressure cooker befor you lid (you may need to add some more ale to cover. If you didn't like this chili the first time, then make your changes and try again!

I made this recipe just how Alton said, however I used my own homemade salsa I had and it was SO hot my husband and I couldn't even eat it. And he LOVES spicy food. I suggest mild salsa and maybe seed the peppers first or half the adobo sauce. However, the meat was wonderful and it was very easy to do.

definitely the easiest chili you can make but using salsa dip is just blasphemy.

Nice straightforward bowl of red. I like the simplicity of using tortilla chips to thicken and also using fresh pico from the market to add spice.

This recipe was very easy to make as well as being unbelievably good. The pressure cooker makes the difference. What would normally take all day to cook took less than 45 minutes from beginning to end! The meat was extremely tender and the flavor was out of this world! Alton is a food genious! Way to go AB!

It is a different approach to making chili but I've always been of the opinion that you should make what tastes good and if it works, great!
