just as my family loves it

Heat the fat in a deep pot and sauté the diced onion and garlic. Then add the finely chopped beef and the ground beef and stir until the meat is no longer red. Add the leek, diced carrots, diced sweet peppers, and whole chili pepper one after the other, stir everything well, then stir in the tomato paste and roast slightly. Deglaze with port wine and pour in the canned tomatoes, passata, and stock. Add all the spices, espresso, cocoa powder, and brown sugar, and cook everything at a moderate temperature for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring regularly. Add the drained beans and sweetcorn and simmer gently for another 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Finally, stir in the 2 pieces of dark chocolate and the sour cream. If you like it extra spicy, you can add sambal oelek or Tabasco to taste. The chili tastes best when warmed up! It goes perfectly with fresh baguette or rice!
