Tread carefully with this chili. This is not your tame ground beef and tomatoes; no, this chili is a whole different beast, a dark fiery primal stew. Here you’ll find whole chunks of beef swimming amidst the flavors of smoky chipotle peppers and spicy chili powder<\/a>. There is an incredible depth here due to the inclusion of cocoa powder, beer, and coffee (trust me, you want all of these in your chili). I was inspired by a traditional Texas red but chose to include tomatoes and beans (which many will debate, I know) – you can omit these if you want, and your chili will still be really tasty. This is not a quick meal as you have to let the chili simmer for 4+ hours (a slow cooker may work well here), but it is very much worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/p>\n *I used a homebrewed smoked porter and think something dark (a porter or stout) works best here though a brown ale or amber ale should also be okay (but nothing really hoppy).

\n**This will depend on how sweet the beer you used was and your personal preference – just taste and see if you think the chili needs a little extra sweetness.<\/p>\n
