Recipe View 10 mins Simmer and Meld: Stir in 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1 tablespoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce. Add 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, 1.5 teaspoons of kosher salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 10 minutes, or up to several hours, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.

For an even deeper flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of tomato paste along with the spices.
If you like a thinner chili, add a cup of beef broth or water during the simmering process.
To make this chili even more convenient, it can easily be adapted for a slow cooker. Simply brown the meat and sauté the vegetables as directed, then transfer everything to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
