Made this for Super Bowl watching and it was a very big hit. Thank you! I added more cumin, chili powder and Chile paste because I like it deep and spicy. Otherwise, I found the proportion of the ingredients just perfect.

Thanks Louisa- I made it again last night too! I also freshly toasted some cumin and added extra too! Great thinking and glad you enjoyed.

Thank you for the dried chile pepper lesson and "to recap" summary that will be a helpful shopping guide. I make turkey chili all the time, but your recipe looks so much better! I usually use chile powder, but I can see how using a mix of the dried chiles you describe would make for a much richer flavor and be worth the bit of extra effort.

Thanks Amy- it really is because they form a sauce weigh d as o much flavor. Once you start working with real chiles there's no turning back!

I guess you’re not giving up your gas stove yet, despite all the hoopla? Me, neither!

No. If it is going to kill me the damage is already done. If I was building a new kitchen I'd definitely consider induction though.

I think it’s a lot of overblown, false narrative. We’re all supposed to give up gas stoves so we can then use natural gas to power electric ones. And I’m a committed environmentalist; but this is a distraction from real problems.
