Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons oil
-
3 roasted green chiles, diced
-
1 onion, diced
-
5 cloves garlic, minced
-
4 oz. tomato paste
-
2 oz. dark chocolate
-
3 cups V8
-
1-28 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes, drained
-
1 chipotle pepper in adobo
-
1 can beans of choice, drained but not rinsed
-
½ tablespoon cumin, ground
-
1-2 tablespoons Gather Chili Powder, adjust to your taste
-
Salt and pepper
-
Optional: 2-3 tablespoons masa, to thicken
Directions
Heat the oil in a dutch oven and brown the ground beef. Remove beef to a bowl – keep the fat in the pot.
Add the roasted green chiles and onion and saute for 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 sec – 1 minute.
Add the tomato paste and let caramelize for 1 minute, stirring continuously. Do not let it burn.
Add the rest of the ingredients, stir together well, bring to a rolling simmer and let simmer until thickened. If you would prefer the chili to be thick add masa to thicken. Check for a final seasoning of salt and pepper. Enjoy!
