I am trying to reduce the amount of red meat my family eats so this spicy/sweet chili recipe is heavier on the beans. Also, I use no fat other than what the meat renders. Yes, the ingredients list is long, but it's mostly seasonings and it makes for a chili that's BIG on flavor. And you'll just have to trust me on the addition of the cinnamon and cloves - they'll be your 'secret' ingredients from now on. ;-)

Steps:
- Brown ground round in Dutch oven/pot over medium-high heat. (There is no need to add any oil to Dutch oven. Initially, the meat may stick a bit, but will unstick as you stir it and its juices are released.) If there is any grease in pot after browning, drain meat in colander and add to pot again.
- Add ALL of the remaining ingredients and salt and pepper to taste and cook, at a simmer, for 1 to 1 ½ hours, or until chili is thickened to your taste. (If chili is getting too thick, dribble in a little boiling water) Remove bay leaf before serving.
- Serve at table with garnishes.
- Note: I cut the onion up into chunks along with the green pepper and garlic and minced them in my mini-processor.
