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.
