Give some depth to chilli with coffee

We were asked by Lavazza coffee to help promote their range of online recipes to show that there is more to do with coffee than just drink it.  Experiment with delicious Italian coffee to create whatever takes your fancy.  Be it drinks, cocktails, cakes to savoury dishes.

We decided on trying something savory and made this Beef Chilli in our slow cooker.  You don't need to have a crock pot to make this, it can be cooked on a stove top as well.

Don't worry about adding too much coffee when cooking, it all adds to the flavour.  We used the Lavazza Anniversary blend,  100% Brazilian Arabica coffee delicate hints of chocolate and caramel which worked well with the beef and chilli.
