CHILI WITH CHORIZO AND CHOCOLATE
The smokiness of the bacon and liquid smoke complements the spiciness of the chorizo and sweetness of the chocolate in this chili. Just like any other chili, this is better the next day. Serve with a dollop of cilantro sour cream or some chocolate shavings.

CHORIZO CHILI
When I first got married my husband didn't like the chili I made (my mom's recipe), so I have changed it until I found what he likes. Now he LOVES it. About and two hours before it's done, I add cheese hot dogs to the crock pot--it does change the taste slightly, but he loves to eat chili hot dogs on butter poppy seed rolls. But if you don't like hot dogs, don't add them. I also use 1 can each of light red and dark red kidney beans for color, but you can use two cans of the same if you want. ENJOY!

CHORIZO CHILI
I was going to attempt a chili recipe I got from a friend and discovered I had none of the ingredients. I already had my meats thawed and was set on chili for dinner, so I took what I had in my pantry and went with it. It's a big hit in my house now.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Crumble in the chorizo. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the chorizo with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 3 minutes. Add the red onion and bell peppers and cook until they begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, jalapeno, ancho powder, cumin, smoked paprika and oregano. Cook and stir to coat the meat and vegetables in the spices, about 1 minute.
- Add the tomatoes, beef broth and 2 cups water. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, then stir in the black beans and butternut squash. Simmer, uncovered, until the chili is thick and flavorful and the veggies are tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Serve the chili with bowls of the toppings on the side for passing at the table.
Tips:
- Use a variety of beans. This will give your chili a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and chickpeas.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of chorizo. There are many different varieties available, each with its own unique flavor. Try a few different kinds to see what you like best.
- Roast your own tomatoes. This will give them a deeper, richer flavor. You can roast them in the oven or on the grill.
- Use a good quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your chili. Use a dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Let your chili simmer for a long time. This will allow the flavors to meld and deepen. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste.
- Serve your chili with your favorite toppings. Some good options include shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, and cilantro.
Conclusion:
Chili with chorizo and chocolate is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover chorizo. So next time you are looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give this chili a try. You won't be disappointed!
