Now, if we were simply making chili, this would be the end of the recipe.Ĭongratulations, you’re done…if you’re boring!īut we’re not! Let’s add some CARNAGE to that Chili! While it might be done in 2 hours, the longer it cooks, the deeper and more integrated the flavor. Cover your slow cooker, and set to 4-6 hours. Pour in your beef broth, add in your cocoa powder, your brown sugar, your tomatoes and your beans. You’ll need that for the chicken sausage. Save 1/4 cup of your red wine infused grease and add that to the crockpot as well.Īdd all your spices minus the 1 Tablespoon of McCormick chili powder. Drain and add the cooked meat to your crockpot. Just before your beef cubes are done cooking, deglaze the pan with your red wine, cooking and stirring constantly for another 2-3 minutes. Transfer your cooked ground beef to your crockpot.Īdd your diced stew meat to the leftover ground beef grease and again, cook until brown. Scoop out of your pan using a slotted spoon, making sure you leave the grease in the pan. Transfer to your crockpot and return your pan to the heat.Īdd your ground beef and cook until brown.

In a saucepan over medium-high heat, saute your diced onions until translucent and golden, about 3-5 minutes.Īdd your garlic and continue to saute for another 2-3 minutes.
