We really liked this chili! The fact you can throw it all together in the crock was a big “I want to try this” for me.
I only changed two things; I added an aditional clove of garlic and used both a purple onion and a sweet yellow onion. Very tasty! You could very lightly taste the cocoa powder, but I believe that one tablespoon was enough. Thanks for the recipe and thanks for reading this ramble!
Definitely will make it again.
