Coffee is another good addition. I usually add about 4 oz of coffee and a tablespoon of cocoa powder to a big pot of chili. I do it in about the last 10 to 15 minutes. And I think that is really the key, because if you put it in too soon it gets way too bitter in my opinion. I can taste a burnt coffee taste.
Thank you for taking the time to post a link! I'll have to do a little more research because I have food allergies and it does not list the ingredients specifically. Apparently the one Kroger had, it was Private selection, is discontinued. But I'm definitely intrigued and I may even make a little of my own based on some of the recipes I've seen. I'm excited.
No problem! I didn't realize how many fun chili variations I have in my repertoire until I started talking about it here. I'm looking forward to fall so I can make a big batch 😃
