This Smoky Chili is so unique, it's bound to knock your socks off. Smoky, spicy, and hearty, it may become your new favorite chili recipe! We use a variety of chili powders and peppers to give this an entirely new profile compared to traditional chili. One of those chili powders is Mexican chili powder. We know this isn't accessible to everyone and that is perfectly okay. Just simply replace the Mexican chili powder with either regular or ancho chili powder instead. This chili is usually simmered for 2 hours but you can make this in an hour and it will still be delicious. We know this Smoky Chili a winner, so lets just skip to the good part.
