directions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the onions and green pepper and cook until slightly softened. Add the carrots, celery and cook for a few more minutes. Add the jalapeno and garlic and cook for a few minutes to soften.
- Add the oregano, cumin, and chili powder and cook for another minute or two, stirring to mix in spices.
- Add in vegetable stock, tomato sauce, tomatoes and beans. NOTE: I used 1 can pinto and 1 can black beans instead of 2 cans of black beans.
- Add in cocoa powder and sugar.
- Cook over medium high heat, stirring frequently and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer uncovered until thickened about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper, if needed.
- Stir in cooked and drained spaghetti (do not rinse so chili liquid will "stick" to pasta).
- Serve with shredded cheddar cheese (white or yellow).
