Time 2h

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds ground beef, 80% lean
1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 jalapeño, minced, with seeds
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1/4 cup chili powder
2 cups crushed tomatoes
1 cup tomato paste
3 (15-ounce) cans kidney beans and their liquid
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons dark-brown sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Cornbread, slathered in butter, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy pot set over medium-low heat, brown the beef, stirring it if it starts to stick to the bottom and breaking up any clumps, about 20 minutes.
  • Add the onion, jalapeño and garlic and cook until the onion is translucent, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the chili powder and stir well. Cook for about 5 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the tomatoes and tomato paste. If using a can, add about 1/4 cup water to the can to remove excess paste and add it to the pan. Stir vigorously to incorporate and let simmer for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the beans and their liquid, stirring gently so as not to break them. Simmer over very low heat for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the cocoa powder and sugar. Add the salt and pepper, taste and season as needed. Serve with buttered cornbread if desired.
