Ingredients
  • 1
    recipe Chili Seasoning Puree
  • 1 1/2
    pounds ground beef chuck
  • 1
    large onion, chopped
  • 1
    stalk celery, sliced
  • 1
    28 ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1
    14 ounce can beef broth
  • 1 1/2
    cups pitted dried plums, chopped
  • 1 1/2
    cups water
  • 1
    6 ounce can tomato paste

Directions

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.

From the Test Kitchen
  • 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.
