Emily, A favorite of mine is Ancho chili powder, although others will work fine too.
What Chili Powder do you recommend? The one I have is more the Indian chili powder so sweeter not spicy – any suggestions?
Making this chili for the second time. Comments from family and friends were the best chili they have ever tasted
