A Question for any Resident Chili Experts

Buy some of the whole dried new mexico dried chilis. They are dark red and all the stores have them but you may have to ask where. Chop them up and add them into your chili, It doesn't matter what recipe you are using, they add great "chili" flavor and just a bit of heat. The recipe above with the cocoa sounds great. the chilis will soften.
Mine is 2 lbs ground meat (venison or beef are best) browned first
4 dried new mexico chilis chopped
1 large can of diced tomatoes
1cn of chili beans drained
1can of kidney beans drained
1/4 cup mustard
3 tbsp cumin
4tbsp chili powder
3 cloves garlic chopped
1 onoin diced
One bay leaf
1 tablespoon cayanne pepper
brown meat, add with all the rest in a crock pot or large pot. Stew over low heat for 2 to 3 hours. It rocks.
