I made several alterations to the recipe, but the result was delicious! I made this for a housewarming party last and several people asked for the recipe. I forgot to buy onions, so I added 3 extra cloves of garlic to the meat after it browned. I used Trader Joe's diced and fire roasted tomatoes with green chiles which gave the chili a nice kick. Because the tomatoes made it a bit too spicy, I also added Newman's Own Tomato and Basil Bambolina sauce (3/4 cup). The sauce is too sweet on it's own, but helped to balance out some of the heat. Lastly, I added 1 tsp of cumin. Next time I'm going to try adding some dark chocolate for sweetness and smoothness instead of the sauce, but the chili does need a little extra liquid. I'm also going to remember the onions.
