Notes

*Can also use cubed beef chuck roast, but trim the excess fat first
*If you can't find Whole30 compliant chipotles in adobo, combine 2 Tbls of tomato paste with a diced jalapeño instead 
*Make sure you use canned tomato sauce, not marinara
Disclaimer - this is spicy chili. We like it hot in our family :)
