All-Meat Chili

We found this recipe back when we were on a low carb diet which by the way is impossible to stick with for any length of time. It is great the way it is, but I like to add a can of black beans.

2 lbs. ground beef
1 c. chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 can (14 1/2 oz.) tomatoes with green chilies (I use 2 cans of RO*TEL original)
1 can (4 oz.) plain tomato sauce
4 tsp. ground cumin
2 tsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp. paprika

1. Brown ground beef. Pour off grease.
2. Add the remaining ingredients. Stir to combine.
3. Simmer 30 min. covered. Uncover, and simmer 15-20 additional min. (I usually put this in the crockpot and cook all day on low.)
4. Optional toppings: Grated cheese, sour cream, sliced green onion or any chopped onion, chopped tomato.
