4-Alarm Chili. Give this a try.
3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium red bell pepper, diced to 1/4-inch
1 medium green bell pepper, diced to 1/4-inch
1 tablespoon of chili powder
1 teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of salt
3/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
1 pound of ground beef
1 28-ounce can of diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon of molasses
Heat oil in a deep 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté the onion.

Add the bell peppers and sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the chili powder, cocoa, salt, cinnamon, and pepper and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Add the beef and cook, stirring and breaking up lumps, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.

Add the molasses and tomatoes (juice and all) and simmer briskly, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. Top with sour cream. Serves four.
