SLOW COOKER CHILI
A great chili should be richly spiced, with layers of deep, savory flavor. Here, that big flavor comes from the usual contenders, but also from the unexpected additions of unsweetened cocoa, soy sauce and Worcestershire, which provide complexity. This recipe makes a thick, comforting chili that can be prepared in a slow cooker or in a Dutch oven on the stovetop. Chili is perhaps the ideal slow-cooker dish because its flavor improves with a long, slow simmer. This makes a big batch, perfect for a cold-weather get-together, but if you're making it for a smaller group, the leftovers freeze well.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium. Add the onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 8 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the beef and garlic, season with salt and cook, breaking the beef into crumbles with a spatula, until the beef has lost its pink color, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until slightly darkened and caramelized, about 1 minute. Stir in all the spices and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the beer and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan.
- Transfer the beef mixture into a 5- to 8-quart slow cooker. Stir in the tomatoes, vinegar, maple syrup, soy sauce, beef bouillon paste, cocoa, beans and 1/2 cup water. Cover and cook on low for at least 4 hours and up to 6 hours. (The chili can hold well on warm for an additional 2 hours.)
- When ready to serve, stir in the Worcestershire sauce. If the chili is too thick, stir in a bit of water until the texture is to your liking. Season to taste with salt. Serve in bowls and pass the toppings at the table.
Tips:
- Choose the right type of chili peppers: Different chili peppers have different levels of heat and flavor. For this recipe, a good choice is a combination of ancho, guajillo, and pasilla peppers. These peppers are moderately spicy and have a smoky, fruity flavor.
- Toast the chili peppers before using them: Toasting the chili peppers in a dry skillet for a few minutes will help to bring out their flavor and aroma. This step is optional, but it is recommended.
- Use a variety of beans: This recipe calls for a combination of kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans. You can use other types of beans if you like, but these three types are a good choice because they hold their shape well and have a mild flavor.
- Brown the beef before adding it to the slow cooker: Browning the beef in a skillet over medium-high heat will help to develop its flavor and give the chili a richer color. This step is optional, but it is recommended.
- Let the chili simmer for at least 4 hours: The longer the chili simmers, the more flavorful it will be. If you are short on time, you can simmer the chili for less time, but it will not be as good.
Conclusion:
This slow cooker three-chile chunky beef chili is a hearty, flavorful, and easy-to-make meal. It is perfect for a cold winter day or a casual get-together with friends. The combination of ancho, guajillo, and pasilla peppers gives the chili a smoky, fruity flavor, while the variety of beans adds texture and protein. The beef is tender and flavorful, and the chili is simmered in a rich, flavorful broth. Serve this chili with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro.
