You’re probably thinking chocolate…. in chilli….. what tha??!! I thought so too when I first tried chocolate and chilli together. It was in a Hot Chocolate and I have to say it was delicious! I have a pretty adventurous set of taste buds and love to try different combinations of food. So when I came across this recipe from one of my old chef buddy I had to give it a try. It very quickly became one of my favourite slow cooked dishes during the winter especially. So a little while back when a group of my sweet blogging buddies put together a  Chilli Challenge. I jumped at the opportunity to share my favourite Slow Cooked Chilli with Chocolate Recipe!

If you’re like me I love to plan ahead with my meals to save time and also to save a tonne of money. So once a week I write out my menu plan along with the list of groceries.  Each week includes a slow cooked meal as I love being able to do a little prep and then throw it all into my slower cooker and leave it to bubble away.

You are probably wondering where the beans are in my photo’s! Hubby is really allergic to them so I don’t add them. But sometimes I will make a side of rice to add to the Chilli as well. I hope you enjoy this chilli as much as we do!

Happy Slow Cooking! 😉

  1. Place 1tsp of olive oil in frying pan over high heat. Add meat and cook for approximately 5 minutes until browned. Add to slow cooker.
  2. Heat remaining oil and add onion and chilli until onion becomes transparent. Add garlic, cinnamon stick, cumin, allspice and cayenne pepper. Cook until fragrant, approximately 1 minute. Add flour and mix in. Add the spice mix to your slow cooker.
  3. Mix in diced tomatoes, red kidney beans, stock cubes and water. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or until meat is tender.
  4. Remove cinnamon stick from your slow cooker and using 2 forks pull apart the meat so it becomes flakey. If your finding that it is not flaking away easily cook for another 10 to 20 minutes.
  5. Mix through the chocolate and cook for another 5 minutes until the chocolate is melted. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Spoon into nice big bowls and sprinkle with coriander. Serve with warmed tortillas and sour cream.
Recipe Notes

If the Chilli becomes too thick towards the end of cooking add a splash of water to thin out.

  2. In the US, the chocolate in chili recipe is called Cincinnati chili…or sometimes skyline chili. It also usually has noodles. Isn’t is wonderful how many ways chili can be made? Loving all the different recipes. Stumbling from the BOB tribe… XO Susie from The Chelsea Project

  6. Hey, another rice in their chili lover 🙂 I missed that the first time I visited. The other night when I was making my chili for the cook off I thought about adding some bittersweet chocolate chips….next time 🙂

    1. My first experience mixing chilli with Chocolate was with a hot chocolate and thoroughly enjoyed it as I hope you like this recipe, Susanne!! The cinnamon is a nice touch 🙂
