Chrissy'S Best Chili Ever

• 2.5 pounds ground meat (either buffalo, beef, chicken, turkey, or mixture)
• 2 cups diced onion
• 2 cups diced bell peppers (red or yellow)
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons diced chipotle peppers in Adobo sauce
• 2 29-ounce cans tomato sauce
• 2 28-ounce cans crushed tomatoes
• 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
• 1 19-ounce can dark kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 11-12 ounces dark beer (I use Guinness)
• 2-3 dried bay leaves
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 tablespoon ground cayenne red pepper
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped dark chocolate (I use 70% cocoa)
• 2 tablespoons instant coffee grounds
• Chopped cilantro

1. In a large pot over medium high heat, saute the ground meat in olive oil until cooked. Drain the meat and set aside.
2. In the same pot, saute the onions and peppers until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and chipotle peppers and cook for another 2 minutes. Add all remaining ingredients, except the chopped cilantro. Add the meat to the mixture.
3. Loosely cover the pot with a lid and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally for 1 hour. Remove the lid and continue to cook for another hour. Allow it to simmer a bit longer if you'd like the sauce thicker. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaves. Serve with grated cheese and chopped cilantro and enjoy!
