Micah's 4 1/2-Alarm Chili image

This is my sweet and spicy chili. Enough people have asked for the recipe that I decided to post it here! This makes a pretty big batch of chili. You can always halve the ingredients. Also, I probably make it a little bit differently each time, so it's no biggie if the ingredients aren't an exact match. I think that the chili is best when it has a few days to really combine the flavors.

This chili is a great way to warm up on a cold day. It's also very filling and satisfying. I love the smoky flavor from the chipotle peppers.

This chili is perfect for a party or potluck. It's easy to make ahead of time and it reheats well. I usually serve it with sour cream, shredded cheese, and tortilla chips.

I love that this chili is made with ground beef instead of beef chunks. It makes it so much easier to eat. I also love the addition of corn and tomatoes. They add a nice sweetness and freshness to the dish.
