Wilbur Dark Chocolate Chili

Posted by Chef Don King, Culinary Market Specialist

Featuring Natural Complete Chili Soup Starter. There are a million and one chili recipes out there, but if you’ve never tried chocolate chili, you are in for a rare treat! This is the richest chili I have ever tasted. I used Wilbur® Buds, a premium local brand made in Lititz, PA, for this recipe. The chocolate adds a deep and slightly sweet flavor that counterbalances the heat from the chili powders in the Soup Starter mix. It’s a “must try” and a great way to feed a football crowd!

Ingredients
  • ½ lb ground beef
  • 5 cups water
  • 2 cups Natural Complete Chili Soup Starter (SKU 428036)
  • ½ cup Semisweet Wilbur® Buds (SKU 749222)
  • 1 - 15.5 oz can dark red kidney beans
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
Instructions
  1. In a saucepan, brown meat. Drain and transfer meat back to saucepan.
  2. Add water and soup starter mix. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Continue to cook on medium low heat for 20-30 minutes.
  3. Add beans, salt, and sugar. Stir until smooth and well blended. Simmer another 5 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and serve. Yields 2 quarts. Simple and Delicious!
  5. Serving suggestion: To really ramp up the flavor, top with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese and chopped, fresh onions!
