Ingredients:

• 300g ground beef
• 1 large onion, diced

• 1 can of diced tomatoes
• 500ml beef broth

To start, heat a large pot over medium heat and add the ground beef, onion, and bell pepper. Cook until the meat is browned and the vegetables are tender. Next, stir in the black beans, diced tomatoes, and beef broth. Let the mixture simmer for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Once the chili has thickened slightly, add the chopped dark chocolate, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well until the chocolate is melted and the spices are evenly distributed throughout the dish. Allow the chili to simmer for an additional 10 minutes to enhance the flavors.

As the chili cooks, the aroma of the spicy chocolate infusion will fill your kitchen, enticing you with its rich and comforting scent. The flavors of the beef, beans, and vegetables will blend harmoniously with the hint of sweetness from the chocolate, creating a truly unforgettable dining experience.

After simmering, taste the chili and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve hot in bowls, topped with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness.
