Late to the chili party, but my recipe’s linked here. This is not a particularly sophisticated flavor profile, and not veg, but everyone seems to dig it.

I totally get the chocolate bar: the cocoa and the sugar neutralize some of the acidity of the tomatoes. In my mind, at least. I make my chili with cocoa powder.

Adam and I used to love love love this recipe: http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/30-minute-chili SO GOOD! SO FAST! BUT! Then he went back to being a vegetarian and ruined everything! LOL! So my comment is to 1) recommend this recipe. SO GOOD! SO FAST! and 2) ask if you've ever tried those fake-meat vegetarian crumbles? I'm wondering if it would work well here because I like the texture of meat in my chili. I'm wondering if I can fake myself out and still be happy. I'd just jump in and try it, but that s%#t is EXPENSIVE! What do you think? I love that you bring up chili, because I am sufferring from the most distressful dilemma!

You can experiment with these as they are strictly a matter of taste. I add them in varying amounts depending on who the folks are eating it. Maple Syrup. I like using this more than chocolate or peanut butter. If you are looking for a sweet tone then this can be good. Chopped fresh jalapenos. I like them a lot, especially without the seeds. The more seeds to you add the hotter it will be. No seeds, very little heat. I think they are best when you add them late and they aren't cooked down completely. I have also added some Guinness beer before. I recommend cooking it longer if you use it. The veggies I have added that seem to work well with this are carrots, squash, zuchs, etc. The only one I use with any regularity is carrots because they are a bit sweet and work well with the heat of the chili. I dig my chili best with cornbread. I'm just sayin. Don’t mess with these ingredients…

* 1 lb lean ground beef or turkey
* 1/2 lb andouille sausage (the chicken kind is fine)
* 1 medium onion, chopped
* 2 cloves minced garlic
* 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
* 1 can (24 ounces) tomato sauce
* 2 cans (14.5 ounces) dark red kidney beans
* 2 tablespoon of Sriracha
* 1 tablespoon of Cayenne pepper
* 5 chopped chipotle peppers
* 1/2 of a chopped red bell pepper
* 1 tablespoon chili powder
* 1/2 tsp cumin
