    Poblano-Jalapeno Chili

    5 smart points | 349 calories

    I've been on the hunt for a good chili recipe lately and I think I've finally found one!  Whenever I just attempt to "wing" a chili recipe it never comes out right. There's something missing. Too spicy, not enough spice? Ya know. There's plenty of spice in this chili with the poblano peppers and jalapeno peppers. The beer gives it an extra zing. The original recipe calls for Mexican beer and if you can't find it use a regular plain ole beer. You can thank my brother for finding this recipe. He gave it to me this weekend and told me that it's a good one.

    Funny story, I tested the chili and it was really good before I went to take any pictures of it to post on this blog. The recipe said to let it simmer and it did simmer. Kind of a bit too long though and the pan ended up burning on the bottom. Was wondering what that funky taste to it was after. Bummer. 🙁

    Make this chili and don't be stupid and burn the bottom of the pot like I did. You will not be disappointed.

      I love this chili! I came in second place last year in our office chili cookoff!
      This year, everyone asked me to triple the recipe & bring it for the office for lunch! That is tomorrow. Everyone just loved it in the cookoff. Very tasty! Just enough heat, not overly spicy.

      I added:
      2 cooked, peeled and diced sweet potatoes 1 can of corn kernels, drained 1 can of green chiles
      Toppings of your choice: raw sunflower seeds, avocado slices, roasted garbanzo beans
      I used one can each of black beans and kidney beans. I used bison instead of hamburger.
      This is a good way to get in vegetables. It's too mild for me, so I used my trusty Sriracha sauce to bump up the heat.
