Notes
TIP: Wear disposable gloves when cutting the jalapeño peppers; the oils can burn skin. Make sure you also avoid touching your face.
TIP: Reserve your drained bean liquid—it's a perfect thinner for chili and won't water down your dish.
TIP: If you're serving a crowd, you could keep this warm in your crockpot!
