Southwestern Three-Meat Chili image

When Mom came to live with me several years ago, I told her it was now my turn to cook. One goal was to enhance recipes of the great Southwest, so I experimented and test-tried several recipes. This is one of the successful attempts, and served with a fresh green salad, it has delighted many guests. -Bob Wyatt Kansas City, Missouri

This chili is not very flavorful. I was disappointed with the results.

This chili is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chipotle peppers.

This chili is the perfect comfort food. It's warm, hearty, and filling. I love to serve it with a side of cornbread or a grilled cheese sandwich.

I'm not a huge fan of chili, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so flavorful and delicious. I especially love the smoky flavor from the chipotle peppers.
