Directions
Soak dry beans in water to cover overnight; drain.
Add 2 quarts water; simmer, covered, for 1½ to 2 hours or until done.
Drain, reserving 1 cup of cooking liquid; set aside.
In large 3 quart Dutch oven or heavy kettle, melt suet.
Add onion; sauté over medium heat until transparent.
Add meat and brown, stirring often.
Drain all but 2 tablespoon of drippings; add seasonings, cocoa and chilies.
Cover; simmer for 1½ hours, stirring often.
Add tomato juice to keep chili to a medium consistency.
If a thinner chili is desired, use reserved bean juice.
To serve, add warm pinto beans to chili or serve as a side dish.
Add a dollop of sour cream on each bowl.
This is a spicy, meaty chili.
