At the beginning of the year I found I was a grand prize winner of the Rodelle baking challenge. For the rest of the year I wil be receiving a box of Rodelle goodies each month. I got my January box last weekend. I was so giddy with excitement, Mark just rolled his eyes at me. Really he’s just waiting for the KitchenAid that was also a part of the prize.
Why yes, that is a hand written letter to me! Rodelle has really impressed me with their commitment to families, baking, and making memories!
Oh so many goodies, and just in time for a week of valentines and birthday baking! Today I’m going to share a chili recipe I found. It is scrumptious, and has CHOCOLATE in it! Now one of the big things I do when cooking, is substitute. I often forget an ingredient at the store, or just feel a little lazy, so I improvise. I did that with this Chili recipe. You can see the original recipe at Sweet Country Life
2 cans tomato sauce plus enough water to make 1 quart
2 TBS brown sugar
chili powder
paprika
cumin
onion powder
garlic powder
1 TBS cocoa powder
Brown the beef in a large pot. Add the rest of the ingredients. On the spices, I added to my tastes. I use small amounts of chili powder since I am feeding 3 little kids. And I may have added a touch more of the cocoa powder 🙂 Simmer for 30 minutes. And Voila! You’ve got a tasty chili that even the kids will enjoy! It’s been a few days since I made this, and I’m still eating it for leftovers, it’s that good!
I’d love to see what you’re cooking up in the kitchen! Link up and hop around

I know it isn't uncommon in Mexican food to make savory dishes with chocolate, but I never have. If kids will eat it, I might give it a try.
It didn't make it chocolatey at all. I think the key was that it wasn't spicey,
