Namely, I added more chiles: dried and whole. Habanero, jalapeno, chile, ancho. Just enough insidious heat without burning your lips off.
Plus, instead of using broth and water, I just boiled two full bottles of Great Lakes Brewing's Edmund Fitzgerald Porter to make the chiles pliable before blending. And of course the entire concoction gets thrown in.
And I usually make an absolute mess of the place when I'm in the kitchen, but that's half the fun!
All in all, a fun day in the kitchen...with the dogs underfoot scavenging. Suffice to say neither one is a fan of pureed chile pepper. Spicing is never measured. Cilantro, cumin, chili powder, cinnamon, oregano. A heap of this, a healthy sprinkle of that, and the winner? Because I can and no one is here to tell me "no"...an entire bag of Nestle semi-sweet chocolate chips. Yes!

A huge ass pot of chili and Brown Sugar Cornbread. Yum! Who needs cold winters for good chili? Good food knows no season.

As every good chef knows, if the recipe calls for beer, if it is a good recipe, it will call for something like 25 ounces leaving the chef to figure out what to do with the remaining 11 ounces :)
