Instructions

Roast the poblanos over a gas flame or by broiling until charred.
Place the roasted peppers in a ziplock bag or covered bowl to steam, then peel, seed, and dice them.
Heat neutral oil in a large dutch oven over medium heat and brown the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks.
Add diced onion, poblano, and jalapeno; cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion starts to soften.
Stir in ancho and guajillo chile powders, paprika, brown sugar, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and cocoa powder, and cook for another minute.
Incorporate diced tomatoes, mustard, worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, beans, and broth. Bring to a simmer, add salt, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes.
Remove the lid, stir in refried beans if desired, and simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper before serving.

Notes

For a spicier chili, leave the seeds in the jalapeno and add more hot sauce.
Any leftover chili can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge.
Chili can be frozen for up to 3 months.
