Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (preferably chuck)
  • 3 dried chili peppers (such as ancho, pasilla, and chipotle)
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth, divided
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil, for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Remove the beef and set it aside.
  2. In the same pot, add a bit more oil and sauté the onion for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  3. Toast the dried chili peppers in a dry skillet for about 2 minutes, then remove stems and seeds. Blend them with 1 cup of beef broth until smooth. Pour this mixture back into the pot with the onions and garlic.
  4. Add the browned beef, diced tomatoes, remaining beef broth, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and cocoa powder. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cover. Let cook for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  5. After simmering, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot with toppings of your choice.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add more chili peppers or chipotle powder.
  • Let the chili sit overnight for even better flavor.
