 Cooking Tips

*For best results, pick out a five-pound boneless chuck roast and have the butcher grind it for you.

**Chipotle chilies in adobo sauce are found in the Latin foods section of most markets and at specialty foods stores and Latin markets.

***This chili can be made ahead. Cool slightly. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and keep refrigerated up to 2 days (or freeze up to 1 month). Re-warm over medium-low heat.
