Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large and deep non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add onion and saute 3 minutes, then add garlic and saute 30 seconds longer. Pour onions into a 6 or 7 quart slow cooker (I like this one HERE).
- Return skillet to medium-high eat, add beef and cook stirring occasionally until beef has browned.
- Drain most of fat from beef, leaving about 2 Tbsp in with beef (this is optional, I think it ads flavor but you can drain it all if you'd prefer). Pour browned beef into slow cooker.
- Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cocoa powder, sugar, coriander and season mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover with lid and cook on low heat for 5 - 6 hours.
- Stir in dark and light red kidney beans and allow to heat through, about 2 minutes. Serve warm with desired toppings.

Tips:

- Don't be afraid to add some spice to your chili. A little bit of cayenne pepper or chili powder can go a long way.
- If you like your chili thick, you can add some masa harina or cornmeal. This will help to thicken the chili without making it too heavy.
- Serve your chili with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include shredded cheese, sour cream, and diced onions.
- Chili is a great dish to make ahead of time. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
