Description

This is your basic straight forward approach to chili with one simple addition, cocoa powder! Ye of little faith… try it, you’ll see.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 2 pounds Ground Chuck
  • 1 whole Onion, Diced
  • 2 Tablespoons Minced Garlic
  • 2 envelopes Favorite Chili Seasoning Mix, 1 Oz. Packets
  • ⅓ cups Cocoa Powder, Unsweetened
  • 1 can 4 Oz Tomato Paste
  • 2 cans Diced Tomatoes (14 Oz Cans)
  • 1 can 8 Oz. Tomato Sauce
  • 2 cans Kidney Beans, Drained (optional, 15 Oz. Cans)
  • 2 cups Water
  • Optional Garnishes: Corn Chips, Shredded Cheese, Sour Cream, Etc

Preparation

In a large heavy bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium high heat, heat the olive oil. Once heated, saute the ground beef, onions and garlic in the oil until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are limp, about 5 minutes. Next, stir in chili seasoning and cocoa powder and continue cooking over medium high heat for about a minute until fragrant, followed by the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and beans. The mixture will be somewhat thick. Add water until you get your desired consistency then reduce heat to low and continue cooking, stirring accassionally to prevent scorching.

Garnish with Fritos corn chips, colby jack cheese or sour cream. I hope you like it as much as my gang does!

Right on! I have used cocoa powder in my chili for a long time – it adds just the right depth of flavor… Super-yummy!!
