Notes

If you have used beef with a higher fat content than we have, then you may end up with a lot more liquid in your slow cooker. You can just drain it off.
If you are able to, then stir the chilli twice during cooking, as this will help the meat to break up. You don't have to though.
Give a richer flavour to this chilli by swapping some of the stock for red wine.
You can use cocoa powder instead of dark chocolate if you prefer. Just make sure it is unsweetened.
If your chilli is too thin, you can remove the lid and carry on cooking for 30 minutes to let some of the liquid evaporate.
