Prepare the Onion, Garlic, Green and Jalapeno Peppers and set aside
In a large kettle, brown the Ground Beef. Drain off any fat, then add the Onions, Garlic and Peppers. Let that simmer about 5 minutes until the vegetables are wilted. Stir it a few times.
Stir in the spices. Salt, Pepper, Cumin, Cocoa Powder and Chili Powder until well combined.
Drain and Rinse the Kidney Beans then add them to the Kettle.
Stir in the diced Tomatoes and the 2 Cups of Water.
Bring it all to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and let the Chili cook for at least 1 Hour. ( up to 1-1/2 hours). Stir the pot several times to prevent the Chili from sticking and burning. Stir in that Tablespoon of Honey and simmer another minute or 2.
That's it friends. That is one Kettle of flavor filled Family Friendly Chili!
Serve with your favorite toppings. I like shredded Cheddar Cheese. Sparky likes it "loaded" with Cheese, Onions and Sour Cream.
AND...there is nothing wrong with a Cast Iron Skillet of piping hot Cornbread to go with it!
