Chili-Stuffed Baked Potatoes with Chipotle Cream

This is a tasty, basic chili with no fancy surprises or anything, just pure fall comfort. The addition of masa harina at the end thickens it up a bit and since we are eating it over baked potatoes, I wanted a thicker chili as opposed to a soupier chili. It's not spicy either so that it can please all of the people in the house - the chipotle cream adds heat for those who want it. Make the chili ahead of time for an easy weeknight dinner. It’s also a great way to use up the leftover chili!
