Chorizo Chili

There are two things I really love about chili. One: It's the perfect autumn food...it warms you from the inside out. And two: there are so many variations on chili...you could put anything in it, and it's sure to be delicious!

Today I'm combing chorizo, black beans, and a whole lot of spice for a great chili to feed a crowd! Or, if you are like us....to freeze for a "free" meal in a few weeks!

2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped

Cooking spray

1 onion, chopped

1 green bell pepper, chopped

5 garlic cloves, grated

12 ounces chorizo sausage, removed from casing

1.5 Tbsp chili powder

1 Tbsp cumin

1.5 tsp dried oregano

Juice of 1 lime

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

3 cans black beans, rinsed and drained

2 (28oz) cans whole peeled tomatoes, chopped

1 can corn, drained

1.5 oz semi sweet chocolate

3/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1. Coat pot with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add chiles, onion, pepper, garlic and chorizo, cook until tender. Add chili powder, cumin, oregano, lime, cinnamon, beans, tomatoes and corn. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover for 30 minutes.

2. Remove from heat. Stir in chocolate until melted, salt and pepper.

3. Serve and enjoy!
