Y’all, it’s cold out there. And while we have our hands covered, warming them on ceramic mugs filled to the brim with piping-hot hot toddies and marshmallow-topped hot cocoa, it’s our stomach’s turn. That’s where Martha Stewart and her belly-warming, easy-to-make comfort food dishes come in to play — more specifically, her Easy Beef Chili dish. The recipe not only features ground beef, fresh jalapeños, juicy fire-roasted tomatoes and chili powder, but also a secret sweet ingredient you’ve likely never thought to sprinkle into your chili.
“This is our tried-and-true back-pocket chili recipe,” Stewart writes on Instagram. “A few ingredients make this chili really spectacular.”

For Stewart’s bean-less Easy Beef Chili, grab your Dutch Oven and, in it, combine a couple pounds of ground beef (or ground pork or turkey) with onions, garlic, jalapeño, chili powder, tomato paste and — the unexpected ingredient — cocoa powder. But don’t use too much! A couple tablespoons will do to unlock a new depth of flavor.

Once those ingredients have cooked for long enough — and filled your kitchen with a delicious, drool-inducing aroma — add the tomatoes and broth and let the chili continue to cook for another half hour.
“Enjoy it on its own, over nachos, or stuffed into roasted peppers,” Stewart recommends.
