Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous
I've never gone out of my way to add chocolate to lunch and dinner recipes (except for dessert, of course!). I know there are moles and even chocolate pasta, but I've just always separated the chocolate from the main course.
That might change with Hershey's Spicy Cocoa Sloppy Joes. I haven't had a Sloppy Joe in many, many years and was going to make them soon anyway, and now this just gives me another reason to make them sooner rather than later.
Spicy Cocoa Sloppy Joes
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup ketchup
2 tbsp Hershey's Cocoa
1 1/2 tbsp yellow mustard
2 1/2 tsp chili powder
1 1/2 tsp black pepper
1 1/4 tsp salt
Cook beef and onion in a large skillet on medium heat until beef is cooked and onions tender. Drain fat. Stir in the rest of the ingredients and heat 10 to 15 minutes until hot. Serve on buns.
Sounds like chili in a bun (I know many people add a little chocolate to their chili). I wonder if adding more cocoa to it makes it even better or destroys the recipe, heh...

I really like spicy food but thought that this could use about 1/2 to 3/4 the spice it called for. Chili powder is one of those spices that I don't feel is too hot, but can feel there's too much chili powder taste. I think the chocolate gives it a very nice rich color but I think the recipe is a bit flat tasting. There needs to be a richer flavor to match the rich color. It has given me a few ideas to try though to bring the flavor up to par, though it certainly wasn't bad tasting.

the recipe is not bad, but i agree with tyguy. it's a bit flat. maybe i'll try to sweeten it a little, with something other than ketchup.

This is a great recipe though. We made it and had some friends try it but didn't tell them what the "secret" ingredient was. Fun to try on friends and family!
