Chili, Chocolate, and Beef Casserole

It may sound quite bizarre, but trust me, you'll love this recipe. It has an interesting mix of an extremely rich and heartening beef dish, accompanied by a subtle touch of creamy sweetness of chocolate and a little chili sensation to boot.

Chili, Chocolate, and Beef Casserole

• Extra Virgin Olive Oil for sauteing
