  • Prep 15 min
  • Total 8 hr 15 min
  • Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef boneless chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons instant chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 can (15 1/2 ounces) dark red kidney beans, drained
  • 2 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano, undrained
  • 1 tablespoon baking cocoa
  • 2 cinnamon sticks

Steps

  • 1
    Mix all ingredients in 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker.
  • 2
    Cover and cook on low heat setting 8 to 10 hours or until beef is tender. Remove cinnamon sticks before serving.

  • Cinnamon sticks and baking cocoa may seem like odd ingredients for a chili recipe, but the two ingredients are based on the spicy Mexican mole sauce that includes Mexican or bitter chocolate. Baking cocoa makes the sauce taste richer without adding sweetness.
  • This chili is flavorful and delicious on its own. But a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of sliced green onions and shredded Cheddar cheese make it extra special.
