Chili Recipe

[obake]

I made this batch of chili this weekend for the OLOTEAS Staff retreat. I modified it a bit from the "Lucky Chili" recipe in Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook for personal taste and allergy considerations. I also cooked it for a shorter amount of time than the original recipe called for because of time constraints.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups freshly

How did the coffee affect the flavor? And were there people there who weren't coffee drinkers that had comments about it? I'm mostly curious because I'm not a coffee drinker myself, and would be a bit wary of chili cooked with coffee.

No one commented on a coffee flavor in the chili (and I didn't tell them it was one of the ingredients). What little I tasted, I couldn't tell either. I think the tomato sugar probably counteracts the coffee bitterness. It did give the chili a nice color so that the tomatoes and beans really stood out.

There was coffee AND chocolate in the chili!? Brilliant! :)
