Special Precautions and Tips:

• If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the jalapeños or use milder peppers instead.
• To add a smoky flavor, you can roast the poblanos over an open flame before chopping and adding them to the chili.
• If you don't have time to simmer the chili for several hours, you can cook it on high heat for 1 hour, but the flavor will not be as deep.
