• Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, spices, seasonings, chili peppers, sugar, and the beans.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for 1 1/2 hours.

Steps:

• 1. NOTE: You can used dried beans, just start them early and follow directions on bag.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large heavy pot over high heat. Add the beef and brown well, about 10 minutes. Add the onions, chili powder, cumin, Southwest Essence, cayenne, cinnamon, crushed red pepper, and bay leaf and cook, stirring often, until the onions soften, about 8 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the beer and cook until the foam subsides, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, brown sugar, and chocolate to the pot. Stir well and bring to a boil.
• Reduce to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent the chili from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
• Skim off as much fat as possible. Add the beans, return to a simmer, cover, and cook until thickened, about 1 hour longer.
• Serve with the cheese, green onions, and cilantro alongside as garnish.

Steps:

• Heat electric skillet on medium high setting. Break apart ground beef and add to skillet. Cook for 3 minutes and stir in chopped onion. Cook until the beef is no longer pink. Stir in the chili seasonings and jalapenos and mix well. Add tomatoes and stir to combine. Simmer for 30 minutes on medium heat. Stir in red kidney beans and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Serve hot with sour cream, grated cheddar cheese, and red onion.

Steps:

• If roasting your own chiles: Preheat an outdoor grill to high. Place the Anaheim chiles on the grill and cook, turning to cook evenly, until the skins blister and blacken. Remove from the grill and place in a plastic bag. Seal the bag and let the chiles stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the skin, stems and seeds and chop into 1/4-inch pieces.
• Heat some butter in a large pot and add the cubed pork. Cook about15 minutes, and then add the onions and spices. Cook on low heat, stirring occasionally. When the pork has cooked through, add the fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes, green chiles and jalapenos, if using. Stir occasionally.
• After 5 minutes, add 8 cups water. Bring to a low boil. Stir occasionally. Increase the heat and bring the chili to a rolling or high boil.
• In separate pan, melt the butter or margarine and whisk in the flour, stirring until creamy.
• Slowly add the roux to the chili, stirring constantly, and shut off the heat. Continue to stir so that the roux is evenly distributed. (Roux amount can be adjusted depending on desired consistency or thickness.)
• Let stand 5 minutes and serve in a bowl or smothered!

Steps:

• Turn a 6-quart Instant Pot® to the normal saute setting and add the oil. When hot, add the ground chuck, chili powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring and breaking up the meat but still leaving some larger chunks, until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and onion and cook, stirring, 1 minute more. Add the tomatoes, beans, Worcestershire and coffee or cocoa and stir to combine. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 10 minutes.
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete. Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.
• Season with salt if needed and serve over rice with grated cheese, sour cream and pickled jalapeños.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium. Add the onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 8 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the beef and garlic, season with salt and cook, breaking the beef into crumbles with a spatula, until the beef has lost its pink color, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until slightly darkened and caramelized, about 1 minute. Stir in all the spices and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the beer and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan.
• Transfer the beef mixture into a 5- to 8-quart slow cooker. Stir in the tomatoes, vinegar, maple syrup, soy sauce, beef bouillon paste, cocoa, beans and 1/2 cup water. Cover and cook on low for at least 4 hours and up to 6 hours. (The chili can hold well on warm for an additional 2 hours.)
• When ready to serve, stir in the Worcestershire sauce. If the chili is too thick, stir in a bit of water until the texture is to your liking. Season to taste with salt. Serve in bowls and pass the toppings at the table.
