Servings: persons

olive oil
salt and pepper
2 lbs stewing beef
2 yellow onions, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 jalapenos, diced
14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes, can
15 ounces tomato sauce, can
6 ounces tomato paste, can
7 ounces diced green chilies, can

1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder (trust me you won't be sorry)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (standard paprika can be substituted)
1 cup water

1
In a medium skillet brown the meat in olive oil, add salt and pepper to taste, move the browned meat to the crock pot. .
2
Brown the diced onion and minced garlic in the same pan and add to the crock pot.
3
Stir in the diced jalapenos, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, diced green chilies, cumin, chili powder, cajun seasoning, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, smoked paprika, and water.
4
Cook 4 hours on high or 7-8 hours on low -- until the meat is very tender.
5
For more spice-heat use additional jalapenos or substitute a spicier chili. Since it's chili I assume you don't want less spice-heat so no instructions needed :).
6
Toppings: grated cheese, sour cream, green onions. Don't be afraid to add your favorite hot sauce if you want even more spice-heat. If you really like heat try my personal favorite - Melinda's Naga Jolokia, but be careful :).
7
Eat with: corn bread, flour tortillas, good bread, your favorite beer.
