Welcome to Autumn, football season, and baseball playoffs! What is better on game day than an easy chipotle chili recipe with just the right amount of spice from chipotle peppers.
Using lean ground sirloin in this chili recipe gives excellent flavor and lower in fat! Make some today and freeze a batch for later in the month!
Now that the kids are back in school, I focus on quick, easy, and freezer friendly meals! My son, Aidan is a bit of a chili expert! He is my go-to spice guy and also loves to cook and really loves to be the taste tester!
I make many different types of chili and he has to approve all of them! This is my base chili recipe and from here the possibilities are endless…and he loves this chili!
Chili is one of those go-to meals that is perfect for a weekday meal and perfect for your tailgate party!
This recipe is a one pot meal with a perfect amount of kick from the chipotle pepper. As always, adjust your spices according to your family’s taste. We love spice, so I usually add in a bit extra of everything!
I hope you make this Easy Chipotle Chili! It is so super easy and always a big hit with my family and friends! Do you make your own chili? What are your favorite things to add to your chili recipes?

I am with you with so much going on we do try to cut corners when ever possible. I do get worried about the heat in recipes like this though my taste buds are a bit tamer
come see us at http://shopannies.blogspot.com
Sounds similar to how I make it at home. It’s such a yummy dish and I always make sure I have left overs for stuffed sweet potatoes or burritos later in the week.
Now that looks so good! I must make it. My chili seems a little boring now!
I made a vegetarian chipotle chili this week. It’s awesome! Even my kids like it.
MMMM this looks and sounds yummy!
My mouth is watering! This will certainly be made in my kitchen. Thanks for this awesome recipe 🙂
Chili is a classic favorite! We all love spicy food at home and it’s good to have a chili recipe that would satisfy our love for spicy food. This recipe is a must try, thanks for sharing it with us.
My family loves chili and with the cooler weather coming, I can’t wait to whip up a big batch. I like that this recipe gets a little kick of heat from the chipotles.
Chili is one of my husb’s fave dinners. I’m making some for him next week and maybe need to use this recipe. The hotter, the better!

That looks delicious! We don’t eat red meat so I would love to try this with ground chicken or turkey.
Julie, This works great ground chicken or turkey! Enjoy

Printed! My family loves chili so we’ll most likely be making this in the near future as it starts to cool down and settle into fall! Thanks for the recipe! I’ll have to let you know how it turns out!
