1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon dried mint leaves
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa

2 teaspoons honey
5 to 6 cups cooked macaroni, warm

Recipe
Saute ground beef, onion, and garlic in large saucepan until ground beef is browned, about 5 minutes; add spices, herbs and cocoa and cook 1 to 2 minutes longer.
Stir in tomatoes, beans, and honey; heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 15 minutes; uncover and simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes.
Spoon chili over macaroni in bowls; garnish with green onions, feta cheese and olives.
NOTE: Although B.E.A.N. recipes usually call for a specific variety, any canned or dry-packaged bean variety can be easily substituted for another.
Makes 8 servings (about 1 cup chili and 2/3 cup macaroni each)
