My family loves this chili and so do my sons girlfriends, it comes out tasting the same almost every time. The spiciness depends on how big of a jalapeno pepper (2 1/2 inches) I use. We like it with just a slight zip so that everyone can enjoy it. Those that like it spicier I give them crushed red pepper, hot sauce changes the taste to much.

How to Make Mom's Best Chili

Use a 5 quart dutch oven, spray lightly with PAM or similar spray use paper towel to get on the sides, brown grd beef well and drain. Put drained beef back in pot on med/low heat add chopped/diced veggies, tomatoes and soup, blend all together then add chili seasoning and chocolate, blend together now sprinkle chili powder all over the top so it is completely covered now gently stir in beans, bring up to medium to medium high heat while stirring constantly now put down to a very low simmer and simmer for 2 hours covered so veggies cook.
