    Sweet Chili

    As we settle back into our routines after the holidays, I wanted to share a quick and easy one-pot recipe! Who doesn’t love chili? I’ll admit, I despised chili as a kid, am I the only one? 🤭

    Chili reminds me of marinara sauce. There's many variations and depending on our mood, the flavor can go from sweet to spicy. Typically, I prefer spicy chili but after having brunch with my cousin over the holidays, we were both shocked and intrigued tasting sweet chili at the cutest little cafe in my hometown in Georgia.

    Sweet Chili

    It had savory flavor but ended with a sweet flare that really caught our attention. I'd never thought about sweeter chili and now that I've tried it, it's definitely been added to rotation of one pot wonders!

    Let's go over how to create this quick dish.


    In a large pot on medium to high heat, sauté onion, green pepper and garlic in oil for 1-2 minutes. Add ground beef and sausage, crumble and brown, salt and pepper to taste. Drain beef and onion mixture if excess fat renders.


    Add tomato paste to beef and onion mixture, stir until combined. Add seasonings and stir an additional minute. Add wine and cook until completely reduced. Add diced tomatoes and beans, stir. Top with beef stock, stir and let simmer 30 minutes to one hour. Gradually chocolate, one tablespoon at a time and adjust sweetness to taste. Garnish with favorite toppings and enjoy!
