Ingredients:

• 1 lb steak, cut into 1/2 inch cubes (or ground beef)
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 Tbsp chili powder
• 1 Tbsp cider vinegar
• 1/2 tsp allspice
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 15 oz cans peeled, cut up tomatoes in juice
• 1 8 oz can tomato sauce
• 2 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
• 2 Tbsp brown sugar
• For garnish: sliced lime disks, sour cream, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions

Method

Cook onions and garlic in vegetable oil in a skillet until softened. On a sheet of waxed paper, blend flour, pepper and salt, then toss meat cubes into flour to coat. Discard flour that doesn't stick to meat. Add cubed beef to cooking onions and turn up skillet to brown meat. Cook meat over medium high heat, flipping to ensure it is browned on all sides. Transfer meat and onions into a 3 1/2 quart crockpot container. Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Push chocolate chunk down into the middle. Cook in crockpot on low for 8-10 hours. Occasional stirring is okay but not necessary. Serve Chili Loaf garnished with cut lime slices, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and chopped green onions.

Notes: When cooking crock pot meatloaf, cut two 15 x 2-inch strips of heavy duty aluminum foil and place foil strips into crock pot, in a criss-cross fashion, across bottom floor of crock pot, then up along the sides of pot before placing your uncooked loaf into the crock cavity. The foil strips will serve as "handles" aiding in the easy removal of meatloaf after it has been fully cooked.

Number of servings: 6-8
