Coveted Necklace

I finally got what I have coveted for several years now from Ben's co workers...the 1st Place Red Pepper Necklace for the best chili!!!! Yes, I have tried a different recipe each year and last year I came very close to winning...this year I took first place!! Found this recipe online and it sounded like something a bunch of warehouseman would like ;)
Serves 6-8
2 tsp. oil
2 onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb. ground beef
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can dark beer
1 c. strong coffee
12 oz. tomato paste
1 can beef broth
1/2 c. brown sugar
3 1/2 Tbsp. chili sauce
1 Tbsp. cumin
1 Tbsp. cocoa
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. cayenne
1 tsp. coriander
1 tsp. salt
3 cans of kidney beans
4 chili peppers, chopped
Heat oil. Cook onions, garlic and meat until brown. Add tomatoes, beer, coffee, tomato paste and beef broth. Add spices. Stir in kidney beans and peppers. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
