I made a double batch of Kenji's Chili^[@rev] using roughly the same changes as the first time^[@rev]. That is, essentially make his chili paste but but do the rest on my own.

Meredith was working on other things so I struggled a bit with the dried peppers. I ended up doing about 5-6 (for the double batch) of:

NM red chiles
Chile De Arbol
Morita

That was the major change on the paste. Otherwise, I kept the paste pretty much to his standards.

I did end up making other changes. I do not recall them all, but some are:

Didn't double the broth at the end. It was already very wet and I didn't want to add more
slightly under on oregano (ran out)
3 cans of beans instead of 4
Added two red bell peppers for bulk
Skipped the garlic

I was a bit worried as it wasn't super flavorful at the start of the simmer. I added some soy sauce, salt, and pepper. That seemed to help a little, but after it simmered down for about 2-3 hours, I tasted it again and was very happy with it.

We got two dinners (with one being a larger portion) and 5 lunches, 3 of which are getting frozen for the future.
