We are finally getting some winter weather here in Northern California, and I’ve been totally craving chili. I happened to have a couple boneless Ribeye steaks in the freezer.  I thought I would try that instead of the typical ground beef that I would normally use. And I have to say this is the BEST chili I have ever had!

Cocoa powder is the secret ingredient to many chilis, I guess I have been in denial about it. So I decided to add some to this recipe and boy am I glad I did. The flavor is out of this word, the richness that it adds to the sauce is delicious. I was truly shocked that it would change it that much.

I love my Cast Iron Dutch Oven for this chili. Sometimes I double the recipe so I can freeze some for quick meals and this pot easily holds a double batch.

 

Soups, stews and chili’s are my favorite comfort foods, here are some of my most popular recipes

• Loaded Potato Soup
• Slow Cooker Bean and Bacon Soup
• Chili’s Copycat Chicken Enchilada Soup
• Thick and Creamy New England Clam Chowder
• Sweet Honey Cornbread

 

There is nothing like coming home after a long day at work to a comforting bowl of this Ribeye steak chili. Loaded with all your favorite toppings. Chili just isn’t the same without a warm piece of cornbread on the side. My Sweet Honey Cornbread is moist and delicious, with a perfect golden crust.
