For a smokier flavor, consider adding a chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely chopped. To thicken the chili, mash a handful of the kidney beans before adding them to the slow cooker. Serve with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, and a dollop of Greek yogurt. This chili freezes exceptionally well, making it a perfect make-ahead meal.
