It may sound weird but I put chocolate in the pot whenever I make a batch of chili (5 gallon pot). It adds a depth of flavour and richness to the chili that works so well.

I also use lots of garlic and onions, smoked chipotle peppers and couple of tablespoons of curry powder. when I caramelize the onions I toss in three tablespoons of brown sugar (keep in mind that I caramelize about 10 pounds of onions for a five gallon pot of chili) to help the caramelization process..

I add black beans, red kidney beans, white kidney beans, garbanzo beans and corn as well. I love me some variety in my chili.
