Chocolate Chili

This is a great low carb Chili with no beans.  It has a special ingredient: Cocoa Powder.  No, it won't be sweet like chocolate, it will just give a nice robust flavor to the chili.  If you are serving this to those who want the carbs then they can add in some beans to their portion and some corn chips if they like.  For low carb eaters, with the good flavor already there, you won't miss those add-ins.
