Ingredients

  • 3/4 pounds Lean Ground Beef
  • 1/2 whole Onion, Diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cocoa Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoons Oregano, Dried
  • 1/4 teaspoons Cinnamon

  • 1 Tablespoon Cider Vinegar
  • 1 can (15 Oz. Can) Kidney Beans, Drained And Rinsed

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large pot, cook ground beef and onions in a small drizzle of olive oil and cook over medium heat until beef is cooked through and onions are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any fat.
  2. 2
    Add garlic and cook 1-2 minutes more, or until fragrant. Add chili powder, cocoa powder, brown sugar, oregano, cinnamon, allspice, and cayenne. Stir to coat beef/onion mixture. Add tomato sauce, broth, water, vinegar, and beans. Stir to combine (mixture will look rather watery).
  3. 3
    Bring chili to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 30-40 minutes, or until thickened and deeper in color.
  4. 4
    Serve in soup bowls, over spaghetti, or to make chili dogs. Top with diced onion and cheese as desired.
