i’ve heard of chocolate again and again....So I eat my chili...and an hour later devour the Chocolate...mmmmm good..
What they really accomplish is something closer to mole. Not chili
Substitute coffee for water.
Gives it a nice mole test. I also like to heat it over oak and mesquite.
I use a mix of ground beef and beef chunks.
Yellow onions, peppers of various kinds
Not a bean guy. Or barely any beans to add variety. I grew up poor and beans are poor people food.
It’s not really chocolate, it’s cocoa powder.
Haha! Good one. I grew up in Cincinnatti and was taught by my dad to use Hershey’s chocolate (solid or syrup) when making Cincy style chili. I’ve tried it without but always go back.
