Made this for dinner tonight. Didn't start it in time to put it in the crock pot so cooked it in my cast iron dutch oven on top of the stove. Great flavor. I used ground turkey instead of beef. Will definitely make this again.

This is delicious chili! The mole seasonings give it a deep, rich flavor. I used ground sirloin and think it would also be great with cubed steak or brisket.
