• to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• large pot
• wooden spoon
• knife
• cutting board

Start by heating a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Once the beef is cooked, add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper to the pot. Cook for a few minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Next, add the drained and rinsed black beans, canned diced tomatoes, and beef broth to the pot. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a simmer. Then, add the cocoa powder, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

Let the chili simmer for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve the Spicy Chocolate Chili hot, topped with your favorite garnishes like shredded cheese, sour cream, or avocado.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1800g, which serves 6 people. Each serving weighs around 300g. This rich and hearty recipe is estimated to be around 350 calories per serving.

One clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top before serving. The warm and slightly sweet spice adds an extra layer of complexity to the dish, enhancing the chocolate flavor in a surprising way.

I hope you give this Spicy Chocolate Chili a try and enjoy the fusion of flavors. Feel free to experiment with different types of chili peppers or toppings to make it your own. Happy cooking!
