STEP 2

Add all remaining chili ingredients. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 6-8 hours, or on High heat setting 3-4 hours.
STEP 3

Just before serving, combine all salsa ingredients in bowl.

Chipotle peppers are large, dried, smoked jalapeño peppers. They are sweet in flavor with tobacco and chocolate tones and a subtle, deep, well-rounded heat.
