I've started a new spice combination that works really well with chili. I didn't tell Tom what was in it until he confirmed that he likes it, too.
Basically, dump this all in and simmer on the stove or go for the crockpot. I prefer it in the crockpot.
2 jars home canned tomatoes or 1 can of tomato sauce and 2 cans of diced tomatoes. If you use the home canned tomatoes, run a stick blender in there to break it up to whatever chunkiness your family prefers.
1/2 green pepper chopped
1/2 lb to 1 lb ground hamburger cooked with 1/2 yellow onion chopped
1-2 cups sweet corn
2 cans of beans (I like black and red kidney. Today we are just using kidney because that's what I have)
Seasoning:
approx 2 tablespoons cocoa and 2 tablespoons ground chipotle pepper
mild chili powder to taste
Really, the cocoa and chipotle pepper combination is SO good.
