Sheryl Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Day 7 here, and I finally made the Chocolate Chili from Well Fed. I say finally, because I have been to three stores looking for beef broth or stock that is Whole30 compliant. Every can or box had either honey, cane syrup and/or yeast extract...including all the ones at Whole foods, and Trader Joe's. I was very frustrated. I decided I would just use Whole30 compliant Chicken stock instead. I let it simmer for 3 hours, and it turned out SOOOOOO GOOOOD!!! Seriously! The complex flavors and satisfying heartiness have astounded me, I am not normally a huge fan of chili. Four stars**** I highly recommend making this chili. Mmmmmmmm....gonna have some for dinner.

drtracyb Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I always use chicken stock. By now I always have some in the freezer, as I roast a chicken about once a week and then make stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bede0713 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Thanks for the review, I keep flipping by that one and I've been unsure if I want to try it. I will now! Just a side note, if you have a M.O.M.'s in your area (My Organic Market) I found compliant broth there (although I've since made my own..).

healthyAbby Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I've made it without the broth and extra water instead and I've thought it was great like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeytonsMom Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I made this yesterday to serve over Applegate beef hot dogs (no bun)...my mom and I liked it, my fiance' hated it and said he won't eat the leftovers. *SIGH* back to the drawing board...

Ellie_G Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 my fiance' hated it and said he won't eat the leftovers. Chilli for breakfast for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinkse21 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I Chocolate Chili! And it is great for breakfast! The longer it sits, the better the flavor! I only use chicken broth unless I have beef bone broth made. I don't think it matters that much since there are a variety of spices used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristina Wright Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I made mine with chicken broth as well. I plan to add more cocoa powder next time to try to really get that earthy flavor into it. I modified some other proportions in it when I made it and I think I just forgot to change the cocoa content accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmayPA Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Deleted what I thought was compliant beef broth recommendation - seems that caramel color is sugar in disguise. Feh. I really really like the chocolate chili - but I LOVE it with avocado slices on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 bump for this thread because I made this chili today for lunch (not the first time, not the last time ) and WOO BOY --- I debuted a new brand of chili powder and didn't sample it first ... it's somewhat, ahem, MORE BOLD than the last brand I had! This here chili has a mite bit'o'HEAT to it! In other news, found some more options for compliant store-bought broth; see thread here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyS Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I found some 73% ground beef (mostly I find 80% or 93%) and used it in my most recent incarnation of chocolate chili. I did end up with more liquid to drain, but the texture and consistency of the chili was worlds better than any other version I've ever made. I never used a recipe to make chili in the past, now that I have chocolate chili I never make it any other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonnynancy Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I add red and green peppers to mine. I can live without beans, but to me it's just not chili without the peppers. I would eat this every day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
