I really enjoyed this recipe. That being said, I did make a couple of changes. I'm not wild about chili over noodles, so I did not do that part. I also used 2 medium onions in the pot only. <br/>I also used 2 ounces or about 4 squares of 72% dark chocolate because that is what I had on hand. <br/>A tad more chili powder was used as was a teaspoon of cider vinegar.<br/>Beans went right into the pot as well and I used 1 can of Pinto and 1 can of Kidney beans. Served with chips of choice and/or a nice cornbread. Flavor was fantastic! Almost like a Chili Mole.

I love trying new dishes. For me, food is a way of experiencing the world without leaving my home, and I'm hoping that as my two sons get older that I can convince them to come with me on my culinary adventures.
