Add beef and cook until brown, breaking up large chunks as you go.When beef is browned, add spices (chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, sugar, salt, and pepper to taste). Cook for 1-2 minutes, then add tomatoes, chocolate, beans, Worcestershire, corn and beer. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce to simmer.Take cover off hot peppers and remove blistered skin (skin should come off easily). Put into food processor and pulse until well chopped (or dice by hand). Add to chili mixture.Simmer chili at minimum 30 minutes, ideally for 1-2 hours, stirring every so often. Serve topped with cheddar cheese, onion, cornbread, sour cream, etc.Serving Size: standard I do is 8 2-cup servingsNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user DCANDB81.
