Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 red onions
- 3 cloves of garlic
- spices (1 and 1/2 teaspoon each): smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, pepper
- 150 g steamed/smoked bacon
- 1 kg ground beef
- salt, pepper
- 200 ml hot beef stock or water
- 100 ml hot coffee

Instructions
- In a larger pot, in olive oil, fry the diced onion until translucent, add the grated garlic and spices and fry for a while.
- In the meantime, fry the finely chopped bacon in a larger pan and transfer it to the pot with the onion, and in the rendered fat (and olive oil), fry the ground beef in batches and also transfer it to the pot.
- Mix the fried meat and onion in the pot and fry for about 3 minutes, stirring. Season with salt (about 1/2 teaspoon) and freshly ground pepper. Add the hot broth and coffee, bring to a boil.
- Cover (leave the lid slightly ajar) and simmer on low heat for about 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally. After this time, add the tomatoes, mix and bring to a boil. Add the sugar and chocolate and mix thoroughly.
- Dice the pepper and finely chop the chili (without seeds, if using). Add to the dish along with the beans and corn. Cover and simmer for another 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
