Fall is upon us! I can eat chili any time of the year, but for most people, fall is the start of chili season. This chili is easy to make. The main prep work is dicing the onion and mincing the chipotle peppers.

Do you find that you never use a whole can of chipotles in adobo at once? I always freeze the leftovers to use in future recipes. If you need some inspiration, this list of 70 Recipes With Chipotle Peppers In Adobo Sauce has plenty of ideas.

For the ground beef, I used 90/10, but you can use a different variety if you prefer more or less lean/fat. If you use ground beef with a higher fat content, just make sure a lot of the excess fat from browning isn’t transferred from the saute pan to the slow cooker. I use a spider strainer to transfer the beef, but a slotted spoon would also work fine.
