This is beautiful chili, but it was way too hot for us. With only 3 cans of chipotles, we could not eat it. I added sugar, water, and tomato paste (per internet suggestions) and it was still too hot. We can do hot chili, but not this hot.  I am so surprised there are not more comments about the heat. Only one or two. But 35 reviews is not many.  I will try it again with no chipotle in adobe sauce but mild green chilis instead.  The chili powder will be sufficient.  Lesson learned, I can make it hotter as I go, but can't take the heat out!!
