    I agree with the ingredients, but it seems that it would be a little dry I would add 8- 16 ozs of crushed tomatoes.

    i had followed the recipe, but when finished I didn't like the taste. It was to dry, and bitter. I added more tomatoe sauce, sugar, chili powder, coffee, and red wine viniger. I then moved all the ingridients into a crock pot, and let it simmer all night. It is a really good starter recipe.

    Cocoa (and coffee) provide depth and authenticity to chili, even though neither can be tasted if used in proper proportions. If you think of the "sauce" in chili as a type of mole then it makes sense.

    I've made this, and it's the only recipe I ever use for chili. In fact, I make it with all ground venison, and it lacks nothing without the pork and beef fat. It's the best!!!

    I made this yesterday & it was a huge it!! I loved the idea of the cocoa...instead of using just the tomato sauce I used half sauce half Zing Zang (a bloody mary mix) and I tripled the recipe and it's all gone!! Thanks for a great recipe!

    Good set of ingredients. I stole your cocoa and beef bullion ideas. The only thing missing is some real peppers - add chili and/or jalapeno peppers and cut back on the hot sauce.

    Sounds good, I use instant potatoe flakes to thicken my chilli but I guess the corn meal would do the same. Really does make a difference. Thanks for sharing your recipe, you have my 5 also.
