Paula Deen's Amazing Chocolate Chili
I have been looking for a new chili recipe for quite some time, but I was a bit skeptical about the chocolate part. I have total faith in Paula, and I loved the hot ans spicy aspect of the recipe, so I gave it a try, tweaking it slightly. I wasn't disappointed, but be warned that this is a very hot chili, and not for the faint of heart!
2 lbs ground chuck
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
Put these ingredients in a large Dutch oven and cook until ground chuck is browned and crumbled. Drain any remaining grease - there should not be much. Add the following:
2 TBS unsweetened cocoa
2 TBS and 1 tsp chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp ground cayenne pepper
2 cans black beans
1 large can of your favorite ready made baked beans - I chose maple flavored
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
2 14.5 oz cans tomato sauce
1 14.5 oz can beef broth
Bring to boil and reduce heat. Simmer for one hour. I added a very small amount of thin spaghetti for the last 30 minutes.
Serve with the following garnishes:
Grated sharp cheddar
Chopped scallions
Sour cream
Enjoy!
