Just made this chili for dinner and it was fantastic! The flavors were bold and complex, and the texture was perfect. I served it over spaghetti and topped it with shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream. My whole family loved it.

Tried this recipe last night and it was a hit! The combination of ground beef, tomato sauce, and spices was delicious. I especially liked the addition of the chocolate, which gave the chili a subtle sweetness. Will definitely be making this again.
