 * can substitute 2 - 15 1/2 oz. cans each, pinto
 beans and 2 quarts water.

 Soak dry beans in water to cover overnight; drain. Add
 2 quarts water; simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours
 or until done. Drain, reserving 1 cup of cooking
 liquid; set aside. In large 3 quart Dutch oven or
 heavy kettle, melt suet.  Add onion; saute over medium
 heat until transparent. Add meat and brown, stirring
 often. Drain all but 2 Tbsp. of drippings; add
 seasonings, cocoa and chilies.  Cover; simmer for 1
 1/2 hours, stirring often.  Add tomato juice to keep
 chili to a medium consistency. If a thinner chili is
 desired, use reserved bean juice. To serve, add warm
 pinto beans to chili or serve as a side dish.  Add a
 dollop of sour cream on each bowl.  This is a spicy,
 meaty chili.
