-
1
28 ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained

1

cups pitted dried plums, chopped
-
1 1/2

teaspoons ground coriander

1. Prepare Chili Seasoning Puree; set aside. In a 6-quart Dutch oven cook ground beef, onion, and celery over medium-high heat until meat is browned and onion is tender, using a wooden spoon to break up meat as it cooks. Drain off fat.
2. Transfer meat mixture to a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker. Stir in Chili Seasoning Puree, tomatoes, broth, plums, the water, tomato paste, paprika, coriander, crushed red pepper, and cloves.
3. Cook, covered, on low-heat setting for 6 to 7 hours (or on high-heat setting for 3 to 3-1/2 hours). Stir in chocolate if serving immediately.
- Make Ahead Tip If making ahead, cool chili slightly. Transfer to refrigerator storage containers, cover, and refrigerate up to 8 hours. Two hours before serving, transfer chili to a slow cooker. Reheat, covered, on high-heat setting for 1 to 2 hours or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Stir in chocolate just before serving.

This is hands down the worst chili ever. I was cautious of chili that had prunes and no cumin, but gave it a try anyway. Horrible. Looks like chili, but smells or tastes nothing like chili. Better be prepared to order take out if you make this for game day.
