5 lb ground beef
5 Tbsp chili powder
2 Tbsp ground cumin
2 Tbsp smoked black pepper
2 Tbsp coarse ground black pepper
1 large purple onion, chopped
2 Tbsp dark cocoa powder
1 large head garlic, each cloved sent through a garlic press, or roughly chopped
4 chipolte bouillon cubes
2 Tbsp coarse sea salt
1 lb small red beans

Steps:

1. Chop the onion and chop or press the garlic. Preheat a large stock pot over medium heat, add the ground beef, onions and garlic. Sprinkle with seasonings and cocoa powder, and brown, stirring often, crumbling the meat as fine as you can get it.
2. When the beef is done, add 1 gallon of water, the chipolte bouillon cubes, and red beans.
3. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to where it barely bubbles. Let cook until the beans are tender, but not mush, 6-8 hours.
