Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 onion
- 1 green pepper
- 1 Tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 Tablespoon chili powder
- 1 Tablespoon worcester sauce
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 can tomatoes with chipotle chilies
- 1 large zucchini
- cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Brown the beef and drain off any extra fat.
- Then add the garlic, onion and green pepper and cook for a few minutes to soften.
- Add the cocoa powder, chili powder, Worchester sauce and cinnamon and stir to mix.
- Mix in the tomatoes, cover and cook on low for at at least 30 minutes. Longer is fine too though, I usually let it cook for an hour if I have time. You could add water, but I like my chili thick, so I don't.
- A few minutes before you are ready to serve dinner shred the zucchini into long strands.
- Saute the strands for 5 minutes in a frying pan sprayed with cooking spray.
- Serve the chili over the zucchini with lots of cheddar cheese.
