or until done. Drain, reserving 1 cup of cooking
liquid; set aside. In large 3 quart Dutch oven or

heat until transparent. Add meat and brown, stirring
often. Drain all but 2 Tbsp. of drippings; add
seasonings, cocoa and chilies. Cover; simmer for 1

chili to a medium consistency. If a thinner chili is
desired, use reserved bean juice. To serve, add warm
pinto beans to chili or serve as a side dish. Add a
dollop of sour cream on each bowl. This is a spicy,
meaty chili.
