2 c water
1 can(s) 15.15.5 oz. dark red kidney beans, undrained
1 can(s) 15.5 oz. light red kidney beans, undrained
2 oz (2 squares) unsweetened chocolate
1/2 c chili powder

Steps:

1. In large skillet, over medium heat, cook meat until browned, stirring often. Drain well; set aside.
2. Add butter to large stockpot. Turn heat to low-medium.
