1 lindt chocolate chili bar
SPICES & SAUCES
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp chipotle sauce
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp garlic powder
1 1 1/2 Tbsp (penzey's) chili 9000
2 tsp (penzey's) ancho chili pepper, ground

1 Tbsp brown sugar, dark (opt)
1 c water or more if needed
GARNISHES
4 medium green onions, chopped
1 c sour cream (if you need to tone down the heat)

Steps:

  • 1. Gather all your ingredients first and get them ready.
  • 2. Cook up your peppers & onions in a pan with a little butter or oil. In another pan cook up your coarsely ground tri-tip and ground beef together. Drain off the meat.
  • 3. Now, over medium heat begin adding tomatoes, beans and peppers. (Add cans of pimentos at the end of cooking time and the Lindt Spicy Chocolate bar.) Once that is all stirred together begin adding you spices and sauces. Once all ingredients are added lower heat to a simmer for 3 1/2 hours to 4 hours before serving. It can cook longer if you like. The longer it cooks the better it tastes and the smell is intoxicating!!! I don't know what I like more the smell of spices, scent of cinnamon or aroma of chocolate. Add the 2 squares of chocolate about 1/2 to 45 minutes before done.
  • 4. Prepare your garnishes for the bowls of chili and enjoy your spicy/sweet chocolate chili.

AUTHENTIC CINCINNATI CHILI



Authentic Cincinnati Chili image

This was handed down to me by Mom, a Cincinnati native. Skimming the fat makes this a healthier version than most, and gives it the right consistency. I like mine 4-way, with spaghetti, raw chopped onions, grated mild cheddar, and oyster crackers!

Time 11h45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds lean ground beef
1 quart water, or amount to cover
2 onions, finely chopped
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ (1 ounce) square unsweetened chocolate
¼ cup chili powder
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
5 whole cloves
5 whole allspice berries
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Place the ground beef in a large pan, cover with about 1 quart of cold water, and bring to a boil, stirring and breaking up the beef with a fork to a fine texture. Slowly boil until the meat is thoroughly cooked, about 30 minutes, then remove from heat and refrigerate in the pan overnight.
  • The next day, skim the solid fat from the top of the pan, and discard the fat. Place the beef mixture over medium heat, and stir in the onions, tomato sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, chocolate, chili powder, salt, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, cloves, allspice berries, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 hours. Add water if necessary to prevent the chili from burning.

Tips for Making the Best Spicy Chocolate Chili

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The chocolate is a key ingredient in this chili, so it's important to use a good quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of. A dark chocolate with a high cacao content will give the chili a rich, deep flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. The spices in this recipe are just a starting point. Feel free to add or adjust the spices to your liking. Some popular additions include cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • Let the chili simmer for a long time. The longer the chili simmers, the more time the flavors have to develop. Simmer the chili for at least 2 hours, or even longer if you have time.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for chili include cheese, sour cream, onions, and jalapeños. You can also serve the chili with cornbread or crackers.

Conclusion

This spicy chocolate chili is a delicious and unique twist on a classic dish. The chocolate adds a rich, deep flavor to the chili, and the spices give it a nice kick. This chili is perfect for a cold winter day, or any time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal.
