Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 medium white or yellow onion diced
- 1 medium jalapeño (optional) diced
- 3/4 cups flour
- 2 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp garlic salt
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup chili powder (to taste)
- 2 15 oz cans fire roasted tomatoes
- 1 12 oz can tomato paste
- 1 square unsweetened chocolate grated
- 1-2 15 oz cans small red kidney beans (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a large dutch oven or sauce pot on medium-high heat
- Add ground beef and onion; cook until beef is brown and onions are translucent
- Drain some of the fat from the beef (how much depends on how healthy you want to be, but fat adds flavor)
- Add jalapeño (if using), cook for 1 minute
- Add flour and seasonings; stir to mix well and until no more flour is visible
- Add tomatoes, tomato paste, and about three cans (tomato cans) of water (I add 2.5 cans of water to start and then add more if the chili is too thick)
- Add the grated square of chocolate and stir (make sure you scrape the bottom of the pot to release any of the beef / flour bits)
- Cook on low heat (uncovered) for 1 hour, stirring often (scrape the bottom)
- Add beans (if using), stir, and cook for another 30 minutes
- Serve with corn chips, sour cream, shredded cheese, and diced onions
