KIM'S CHILI

Steps:

• Brown the ground beef in a dutch oven with about 1/2 bottle chili powder.
• Add to this the can of chiles, the crushed tomatoes and the tomatoe sauce (rinse out the tomatoe cans with about 1/3 can of water and add this as well).
• Simmer for about 5 minutes to blend and then dump in all four cans of undrained beans.
• Next, stir in the cocoa powder and simmer for another 5 or 10 minutes.
• Add a couple of teaspoons of salt and some freshly ground green peppercorns.
• Taste and add additional salt and pepper and chili powder if needed.
• Simmer for about an hour and serve.

KIM'S AWARD WINNING CHILI

Steps:

• 1. Follow preparation directions and simmer time on Bear Creek package (adding the 8 oz can of tomato sauce instead of tomato paste as the package calls for).
• 2. While that is simmering, brown ground beef with diced onion and drain fat.
• 3. Once both chili starter package and browned ground beef are ready combine together.
• 4. Add all of the spices, the brown sugar, can of black beans and can of petite diced tomatoes. Stir well to incorporate everything into chili.
• 5. Add pinch of cinnamon (you only need a teeny amount because it will over-power the chili), so be careful!
• 6. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes if desired, otherwise it's READY to eat!
