Servings: persons

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 medium/large yellow onion diced
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cloves of garlic minced
12 ounces mild italian sausage
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons italian seasoning
1 teaspoon paprika
2 cups diced red/green/yellow bell peppers
15 ounces can tomato sauce
10 ounces can rotel tomatoes
6 ounces can tomato paste
2 15 ounces cans black beans
12 ounces water
1.5 ounces dark chocolate

1
Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and salt and saute until soft and translucent.
2
Add the garlic and stir. Let the garlic cook about 2 minutes and then add in the sausage. Break up the sausage as it cooks. Once the sausage begins to brown add the chili powder, paprika & peppers. Stir everything together and let cook about 3 minutes.
3
Now add in the tomato sauce, rotel tomatoes, tomato paste, black beans, italian seasoning and the water. (I used the tomato paste can, filling it up twice to add the water. This helps to get more of the tomato paste out of the can). Stir everything together and let come to boil. Once the mixture has come to a boil reduce the heat to simmer and stir in you dark chocolate. Continue stirring until the dark chocolate has completely melted and has been thoroughly mixed in.

Let the chili sit about 10min to let the flavors really come together. After 10min it is ready to serve!
