Add kidney beans with their liquid, and drain the liquid from the pinto beans and chickpeas before adding them to the pot.

Keep the heat on high while stirring in the crushed tomatoes.

Add 1 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 cup of molasses to the mixture and stir well.

Once it starts to bubble, reduce the heat to a simmer.

Add 3 tablespoons of chili powder, 2 tablespoons of dried garlic, salt, and pepper to the pot and stir well.

Ladle some of the chili liquid into a bowl and blend it with 3 chipotle peppers.

Stir the blended chipotle mixture back into the chili.

Cover the pot and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

If the chili is too soupy, leave the cover off and simmer longer to thicken.
