Step 1
Start by tossing the beef, kidney beans, corn, and water into your slow cooker. Next, sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and thyme. Give everything a good stir to mix all those flavors together. Then, crumble in the chocolate and add the shredded Cheddar cheese—this gives the chili a nice, rich twist. Cover the slow cooker and let it cook on low for about 6 to 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and cooked through. Before serving, taste and adjust the seasonings if needed. Enjoy the cozy, hearty chili!

This chili is packed with rich flavors that develop slowly, making each bite comforting and hearty. It’s perfect for busy days since it requires minimal hands-on time but delivers maximum taste. Plus, it’s a great way to enjoy a warm, satisfying meal with family or friends.
How to serve
Serve the chili over steamed rice or with warm cornbread for a classic pairing. Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions to add fresh, creamy, or tangy notes. A side salad or tortilla chips also work well for added texture.
Storage & leftovers
Let the chili cool completely before storing it in airtight containers. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze portions for up to 3 months and thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
