i'm curious what you expected with such a lax definition of chili within the OP

Ingredients purchased. Cooking this weekend. It snowed today so it's a good time to do this.

As a hint, a lot of my family is from rural northern Arizona, so there will be some regional variation to this chili. It's goooooood......

Guys and gals, I am actually interested in the ultimate chilli, and await the various genuine entries so I can compare.

My own recipe is not complete, so I can't submit one, but my idea is:

How would a resident of San Antonio make chilli before the age of processed/canned/frozen/globally transported ingredients?

Grab a nearby cow, take it's legs off, stew in hot peppers.

For some reason amazon didn't have multiple tins of chipotles in adobo like it normally did so i bought a 2.8kg tin instead

That's a lot of chipotle in adobo. I'd recommend freezing it and grating it over everything you cook for an addition of smoky, spicy flavor to literally everything. It's terrific, believe me. It's the best. Everyone says it's the best method.

Chipotle peppers really are the best.

They also last loving forever after you open them. I'm not even sure they can go bad.

Seriously, the best. I get a big can and blend them until completely smooth, with a little salt and thinning them out as needed with a little cider vinegar and water, then put in a standard squeeze bottle. So easy to add to so many things, and allows you to fine tune to exactly how much you want in a recipe.

Want some chipotle on your burger? Squeeze some on. Want chipotle mac & cheese? Squirt some in there and stir it in. Want am amazing topping for a hot dog? Squeeze pure chipotle on instead of ketchup (gross). Chipotle mayo? Literally 10 seconds of effort to stir some into mayo.

It lasts forever, just loses a little potency over time.

How do canned chipotles compare to dried? Lately I've been pretty big on starting any manner of things by mincing some dried chipotles and toasting them in fat before adding vegetables to saute.

It's essentially the same as any fresh pepper vs canned:

The dry pepper is, by weight, much more concentrated in the base flavors. So for a dry chipotle, you can expect a big hit of smoked flavor. Fresh chipotles are less intense, but they are packed in Adobo which is delicious and you will have nothing of comparable value to speak of when using dried chipotles.

It depends on what you're looking for, but in this context, chile? Feel free to use dried chipotles. They will form an excellent base to any dried chili powder. You will miss the Adobo, though in this specific end product I think it will not matter too much.

This is an amazing idea and I am going to copy you, except I'm going to add more vinegar, because vinegar incredible. I'll bet a nice sherry vinegar would be good in there too. Half apple cider, half sherry.

I made a chili. Then I ate the chili and now I feel too fat to write up a post yet. While I take a moment to rest and cool down, here's my assistant letting me know that while I'm cleaning up I should sweep up this dry food that SOMEONE (he doesn't know who) spilled all around his dish

Chipotles in adobo will last approximately forever in the freezer.

I like to freeze them flat in ziploc bags so I can just tear off a hunk when needed.
