Smoky Chili Con Carne image

This is an adaptation of a recipe posted by Lynne Valeriote on the foodtv.ca web site. My son loves this recipe and I make it weekly and store it in containers in individual serving sizes in the freezer. You can make it hotter or tamer by adjusting the amount of chipotles.
