CHOCOLATE CHILI CON CARNE
When my family sees me pull out the "chili pot" for this dish early in the morning, they know they're in for a flavorful treat, and I know I'm going to have happy campers when they all come home at the end of the day! FYI, the leftovers make a delicious Sloppy Joe sandwich, too!

Steps:
- 1. In a large stock pot, saute 2 tbsp of brown sugar, onions, celery, garlic, and green and red peppers in olive oil until onions are translucent. Do not allow garlic to burn.
- 2. Add ground beef until it has browned thoroughly. Strain off excess fat before proceeding to next step.
- 3. Add the Guinness and let boil for 1 minute.
- 4. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste and the beef stock and stir thoroughly.
- 5. Add all remaining ingredients and stir to mix well. Bring the chili to (what I like to call) an energetic simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
- 6. Covered and continue to simmer on low for MINIMUM of 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The longer the chili simmers the more the flavors get a chance to marry, 4 to 6 hours is best.
- 7. Remove the bay leaves and serve. Garnish or serve with any of the following: cornbread muffin, sour cream, diced red onions, green pepper, shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, fresh chopped cilantro.
