Recipe Introduction


This chili is one of the first things I ever cooked for Jon - and he had to get me the recipe! It's fairly easy and very tasty.





List of Ingredients



• 1 lb ground beef
  
• 1 lb ground pork
  
• 1 medium onion
  
• 1 clove garlic
  
• 2 cans Mexican style stewed tomatoes
  
• 1 small can green chilis
  
• 1 can black beans - drained
  
• cayenne pepper
  
• chili powder
  
• cocoa powder
  
• salt & pepper
  






Instructions



1. Chop onion and press garlic.
   
2. In a large pot, begin browning beef and pork. After about 5 minutes, add onion and garlic and finish browning. Drain grease and return meat mixture to pot.
   
3. Add tomatoes and green chilis. Bring mixture to a boil, and then lower heat to a simmer. Add seasonings (chili powder, cayenne, cocoa, salt & pepper) to taste.
   
4. Simmer on low for at least 1 hour - the longer the better.
   
5. 20 minutes before you are ready to serve, stir in the black beans. Simmer for 20 minutes.
   






Final Comments


Jon and I like to make "haystacks" with our chili. To make a haystack, put corn tortilla chips in a bowl and then add chili, cheese, sour cream, diced tomatoes, lettuce, chopped green onion, and chopped avocado for a delicious meal.
