Chili with Chorizo and Chocolate

Servings:

The smokiness of the bacon and liquid smoke complements the spiciness of the chorizo and sweetness of the chocolate in this chili. Just like any other chili, this is better the next day. Serve with a dollop of cilantro sour cream or some chocolate shavings.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Heat a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir bacon in the hot pot until browned and slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain grease and set bacon aside.
  2. 2 Reduce heat to medium and add chorizo to the stockpot; cook and stir until slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Drain grease and set chorizo aside.
  3. 3 Cook and stir ground sirloin in the same pot over medium-high heat until browned, crumbly, and no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain grease. Add bacon and chorizo. Add tomato sauce, tomatoes, onions, and Italian seasoning. Stir in chili powder, cumin, brown sugar, liquid smoke, garlic juice, and cinnamon.
  4. 4 Bring to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer and add kidney beans, black beans, jalapeños, and chocolate. Let simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors are well blended, about 2 hours.
