Black Bean Chili

So, I know a few of you have wanted my chili recipe - want no more because here it is!

1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
2 cans of black beans undrained
2 large sweet onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans of chopped tomatoes
2 TBL of chili powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 TBL red wine vinegar
1 bottle of beer

condiments for chili

Heat oil in a skillet and brown the beef. Add the onion and garlic; cook until they are tender. Add tomato and juices to the pan. Add chili powder, salt, paprika, oregano, cocoa, cumin, and cinnamon. Simmer for 15 minutes. Add beans and some water, tomatoes, vinegar, and beer to the meat mixture. Simmer 30 minutes more or until the beans are very tender and the chili has thickened. Serve with the condiments of your choice and enjoy!
