Chili, Chocolate, and Beef Casserole

It may sound quite bizarre, but trust me, you'll love this recipe. It has an interesting mix of an extremely rich and heartening beef dish, accompanied by a subtle touch of creamy sweetness of chocolate and a little chili sensation to boot.

Chili, Chocolate, and Beef Casserole

• Extra Virgin Olive Oil for sauteing
• 2 leeks (or onions) sliced
• 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and chopped
• 1 1/4 pounds of diced beef suitable for long slow cooking
• Chili - up to you - I use 1 purple and 1 green Poblano (mild flavor) diced. You can use more or hotter chilies.
