    Loved the chili. Not really that hard to make at all.. anything this good is worth a little time an thought. The beef was tender and chocolate added a mole flavor that I really find unique in a chili. Best new chili I have made in a long time.

    Made this yesterday for a crowd of 30. Rave reviews from everyone. Does take a little longer than recipe indicates but well worth it. Also left out some of the chipotles as per another reviewer for less spice, but next time will leave them in.

    Very tasty. On a cold winter day this sure hits the spot. The extra prep is well worth it. A labor of love, cause you're gonna love it after the first bite!

    We're in the middle of the 6th largest blizzard in Boston history and this chili has been simmering all afternoon enticing my neighbors to knock on the door. I've made a lot of chili in my lifetime, but this is by far the best. I was looking forward to leftovers, but my friends have made that an impossibility.

    This amazing chili took extra effort but was so delicious. If you don't like anything too spicy, I would recommend using a little less chipotle in adobo sauce. The ancho chili adds a wonderful smoky flavor. Overall, the best chili I have ever made!

    It took almost 5 hours from start to finish, but most of the time the chili was simmering. Note, put the beef in the water before toasting the ancho chilies. It takes almost 30 minutes for the water to boil with the beef in it on medium heat, which is plenty of time to toast and grind the peppers. This is a mouth-watering dish, and it made enough for 4 meals for our family of 4. I substituted small, red beans for the kidney beans and it's still great.

    Not sure what went wrong...too much cornmeal, perhaps. Ended up with thick, pastey concoction. Next day, added olives, raisins, almonds and thinned with Enchilada Sauce. Popped 'em into tortillas topped with cheese & sauce and voila! Shredded Beef Chili Enchiladas.
