This is a recipe that I have decided to make after reviewing many Texas Chili recipes. I believe it to be my own, with the right amount of “heat.” This goes well with Cheez-It(R) crackers mixed in or with French bread and honey butter.
Ready in: 4 hours 10 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 6

• 2 1/2 to 3 pounds ground beef (stew meat or sirloin cubes may be substituted)
• 2 white onions, coarsely chopped
• 6 cloves fresh garlic, coarsely chopped
• 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes w/ green chilies (undrained)
• 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes w/ jalapeno peppers (undrained)
• 1 (16 ounce) jar medium-spicy chunky salsa
• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa or 1 bar of baking chocolate
• 1 cup strong brewed coffee
• 1 package of McCormick(R) chili seasoning mix
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• Dash of cayenne pepper

Preparation method

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 4 hours

1. Brown meat, onions and garlic in a large Dutch oven or similar pot. Drain.
2. Mix remaining ingredients with the drained beef mixture and return to Dutch oven.
