Award-winning steak and bean chili with a secret blend of cocoa powder and cola, enriched with bacon essence.
Ingredients:
  • 0.25 cup bacon grease (see notes)
  • 1.5 pounds boneless beef round steak, cut into 1/3-inch cubes
  • 1.5 pounds beef sirloin steak, cut into 1/3-inch cubes
  • 1.5 cups onion soup, prepared from a packet of dry onion soup mix
  • 3 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, undrained
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup cola soft drink (such as Coke®)
  • 1 tablespoon yellow sport pepper sauce (such as Texas Petes's®)
  • 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions:
  • In a large stainless steel soup pot over medium-high heat, savor the aroma of bacon grease while browning the cubed round and sirloin steak meat for about 10 minutes. Next, add the onion soup, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 7 minutes, stirring to capture all those delicious browned bits.
  • Combine kidney beans, tomato sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a pot. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Cover the pot, lower the heat, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Combine the cola, pepper sauce, and cocoa in the pot. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Serve the dish hot.
