cafe chili con carne
At Brown & Jenkins Coffee Roasters we hold a lot of community events and are always looking to "think outside the cup" to showcase our coffee in different ways. This is a community favorite. The taste of coffee further enriches this already lush pot of chili. Tradition suggests adding cinnamon, but fine ground coffee is even better.

Step 4Cook's note: If you like your chili con carne a bit thinner, add beef broth, chicken broth or brewed coffee in small increments. Don't add too much or you will have soup instead of a hearty chili con carne.
