Ground Chipotle Chili is made using smoked and dried habanera peppers which are longer lasting than their fresh siblings. Although they're a bit more expensive than most ground beef choices, they're worth the price. Most consumers don't go out to eat fried chips all the time, so a burrito is usually sufficient enough for an outing. But with all the super food hype that's out there these days, you may find yourself craving something a little bit more substantial. If you go this route, you won't be disappointed!

Ground Chipotle Chili can be a hearty meal whether it's on its own or served with tacos and other Mexican dishes. You can make a nice sized batch to bring as a meal to a potluck, or divide it up into portions for your family to enjoy. They hold the amount of heat slightly longer than other forms of chili. So if you're grilling, be sure to leave a little longer than usual. Don't forget to add cumin for that authentic burnt taste.

If you like a more milder version of this Mexican classic, try using refried beans. Just make sure to keep them in the refried state until they're completely done, because they'll lose their heat. You can make an excellent substitute by using refried bean dip instead. Another idea is to add sour cream, canned chopped tomatoes, and ground pepper for a thicker, more intense taste.

Ground chipotle has a tangy and spicy flavor that's hard to describe. I find it best described as a mixture of spices, peppers and chili con carne. If you're not familiar with carne, it's a Spanish word that means meat prepared with salt. In other words, it's a pork dish that's made using the excreta (semen). Chipotle has a number of variations, but the basic ingredients are normally ground beef, onions, jalapenos and green chili.

Although chipotle is often associated with the South, [it's actually originally from the rest of Mexico](https://www.gourmetsleuth.com/articles/detail/chipotle#:~:text=processed into chipotles-,Chipotle Pepper History,dry and prone to rot.). It's famous all over the world and is a close second only to the nation's very famous chili con carne. This super spicy blend is made with beef habba (pork belly) and onion. You can make your own if you're afraid of the spice grinders at the grocery store. If you want a less-than-perfect copycat, buy a pound or so of meat, combine it with onion, garlic, salt and pepper, then cook it over medium-high heat.

To make your own chipotle, simply follow the same steps for making any kind of chili. Basically, you just have to make sure that your ground beef is seasoned enough and that it's cooked enough to fall apart when you push it through the shredder. After it cooks, simply mix in whatever ingredients you use. Some people like to add additional sour cream, cheddar cheese, chilies, tomatoes or any kind of peppers to the mix.

Once you taste this chili, you'll never want to go back to the store-bought versions again. I've heard horror stories about the flavour of the original, but you'll find plenty of reviews online to prove the contrary. So even though you might be hesitant at first, give it a try and you may be pleasantly surprised!

And speaking of surprises...if you make your own ground chipotle chili at home, don't be surprised if somebody else asks you where you got it. It's one of those foods that are best bought on its own, not by the bagged variety. When it's fresh, it's even better.

Another great thing about this chili is that you can make it pretty much at home. That means no more sitting in the fridge to get ready for a night out. If you're running low on ingredients, why not use what's in your fridge? Some meats, such as chicken, can easily be used to create the best ground peppers that we know and love. Just be sure that you leave out anything that contains meat.

There are two ways to cook the chili - frying or grilling. Both methods produce excellent results. I prefer frying because it produces a crisper taste, but it does require that you use a lot more oil. You can also cook the chili in the oven, but I find it to be a little bland. The trick is to make sure that you season it well, so that it holds its' true flavors throughout the whole meal.

These days, I really appreciate any opportunity that I get to spend cooking. Cooking doesn't have to be an afterthought. It can actually be fun and exciting. Try cooking some ground chipotle chili with your friends this weekend. I promise that it will be one of the best meals that you've ever cooked.
