Servings: 18
Preparation Time: 45 minutes

Soak beans overnight (6 to 8 hours) in 16 cups cold water with vinegar. Drain, rinse, fill pot with enough water to cover one inch over the top of the beans and turn on low heat.

Heat a medium sized cast iron pan on medium-high and add palm shortening and coconut oil. Sear meat until dark brown on all sides. Transfer meat to pot with beans. Cook onion, bell pepper, and garlic until slightly translucent. Add chili powder, cocoa powder, cumin and mix well. Transfer veggies to pot of beans. Add canned tomatoes, tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce.

Cook for 24 hours on simmer, stirring occasionally. Top with fresh cilantro, avocado, sour cream, shredded cheese, diced tomato, or corn chips, if desired.

Makes enough to feed a large gathering or freeze some and thaw later for easy meals during the week.
