  • 1 large red bell pepper

  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp cumin
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 0.5 oz dark chocolate
  • olive oil

Instructions
 

  • I use Instant Pot to make my chili, it is just easier and a bit quicker for me. You can easily do this on the stove top and I will post instructions for both.
    Dice the onion and the bell pepper. Mince the garlic. Heat up some olive oil on the bottom of your instant pot or a large pot on the stove top and saute the onions and peppers for 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and beef and start browning it. After another 4-5 minutes add all of the other ingredients except the chocolate. If using instant pot, put the lid on and seal the vent, set to cook on high pressure for 35 minutes. Once done, release the pressure and mix in the chocolate and it is ready to serve.
    If cooking on the stove top cook on medium low heat for about and hour, adding some water as needed. Towards the end add the chocolate and cook for another 5 minutes.
    Some of our favorite toppings are: shredded cheese, crema, tortilla strips, green beans, cilantro and avocado!
