Mole-Style Chili

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup prediced yellow onions

1 lb lean ground beef, 7% fat

1 (1.25-oz) package chili seasoning

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 (15-oz) cans reduced-sodium black beans, drained

2 tablespoons tomato paste

2 (10-oz) cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes with green chiles

1/2 cup strong cold-brewed coffee

4 cups beef stock (or broth)

2 oz dark chocolate

1 ripe Hass avocado, coarsely chopped

Steps

Preheat large stockpot on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place oil and onions in pot; cook and stir 3–4 minutes or until onions are tender. Add beef, seasoning, pumpkin pie spice, and sugar; cook 4–5 minutes, stirring to crumble meat, and until no pink remains.

Drain beans. Stir in tomato paste, tomatoes, coffee, beans, and stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low; simmer 30 minutes (or 1 hour). Break chocolate into pieces; stir in during last 5 minutes of cook time until melted and sauce has thickened. Peel, pit, and chop avocado. Top chili with avocado; serve. (Makes 8 servings.)

Aprons Advice

Complete your meal with your favorite chili toppings such as avocado, shredded cheese, sour cream, and cilantro, and fruit parfaits for dessert.

This is a non-traditional chili that is slightly bitter. Add 1 tablespoon additional brown sugar for a sweeter taste.
