Time 8h15m

Number Of Ingredients 19

3/4 cup bulgur wheat
2 cups yellow onion (diced)
2 cups sliced white button mushrooms
1/2 cup red bell pepper (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup vegetable broth
1 cup strong brewed coffee
1 14 oz. can diced tomatoes
1 14 oz. can kidney beans (drained)
1 14 oz. can pinto beans (drained)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon red cayenne pepper (or to taste)
Bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
A few turns fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the bulgur in a medium bowl and pour two cups boiling water over the top. Let soak for 15 minutes, then drain and squeeze the bulgur dry.
  • Add the bulgur along with all of the other ingredients to your slow cooker/Crock Pot. Stir. Cook on low for 8 hours and add additional salt and black pepper to taste. Remove bay leaf and serve with your favorite chili toppings. We like it topped with shredded sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, and a little cilantro.

I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it turned out great! I also added a can of black beans for extra protein.
