Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 lb diced steak (choose a tender cut)
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
• 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
• 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (15 oz) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1/4 cup Reaper Madness Chocolate Carolina Reaper Hot Sauce (adjust to taste)
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Sear the Meat:

   • Heat a large cast iron pot over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
   • Brown the ground beef and diced steak, breaking them apart with a wooden spoon as they cook. Remove any excess fat.

2. Sauté the Aromatics:

   • Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and aromatic.

3. Add Tomatoes and Paste:

   • Stir in the diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Mix well to combine.

4. Season the Chili:

   • Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to evenly distribute the seasonings.

5. Incorporate the Beans:

   • Gently fold in the kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans.

6. Pour in Broth and Hot Sauce:

   • Pour in the beef broth and Reaper Madness Chocolate Carolina Reaper Hot Sauce. Adjust the hot sauce quantity to your desired level of heat. Be cautious; it's incredibly spicy!

7. Simmer and Stew:

   • Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavors will become. If it thickens too much, add a bit more beef broth.

8. Serve with Chocolate Garnish:

   • Optionally, before serving, grate a small amount of dark chocolate over each bowl of chili. The chocolate enhances the richness and complements the heat.

9. Enjoy!

   • Ladle the Reaper Madness Chocolate Chili into bowls, and savor the intense flavors and spicy kick. Serve with your favorite chili toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, or avocado slices.

Prepare yourself for a chili experience like no other with the intense heat and bold flavors of Reaper Madness Chocolate Carolina Reaper Hot Sauce. This chili will warm you from the inside out and leave you craving more.
