What Makes This Recipe Unique

This chili is hearty and full of rich flavors without the beans, making it perfect for those who prefer a meatier texture. It’s easy to customize and comes together quickly, so it’s great for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Cooking Pointers

- Brown the meat well to develop deep flavor before adding spices and liquids.
- Let the chili simmer gently to allow the flavors to meld and thicken naturally.
- Adjust the heat by adding more chili powder or a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra kick.

Step 1

Pour the coffee into your slow cooker, then add the diced tomatoes, beer, tomato paste, beef broth, brown sugar, chili sauce, jalapenos, and all the spices—cumin, cocoa powder, chili powder, oregano, cayenne, coriander, and salt. Give everything a good stir to combine.

Step 2

Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, chopped onions, and garlic, cooking and stirring until the beef is fully browned, about 7 to 10 minutes. Once it’s cooked through, transfer the beef mixture into the slow cooker.

Step 3

Now, slowly sprinkle the cornmeal into the slow cooker while stirring to make sure it doesn’t clump up. After everything is mixed well, turn the slow cooker down to Low and let it cook for about 2 hours. This slow simmer will help all the flavors meld together perfectly.

Best Serving Ideas

Serve this chili topped with shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped green onions. It pairs wonderfully with warm cornbread, tortilla chips, or a simple side salad to balance the richness.

Storing This Dish

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. This chili also freezes well—just cool completely before freezing in portions for easy reheating later.
