Spicy Mole Oatmeal Chili Recipe

Heat oil in dutch oven or soup pot. Sauté onions & carrots until onions are translucent, but not brown. Season with sea salt. Add tomatoes & then beans. Add cocoa & chili powder & stir; add chipotle. Add the oatmeal & water, cook for 5 minutes, adding water as necessary for thick consistency. Cook for 5-10 minutes more until oats break down, it will begin to look like ground meat. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and/or sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Enjoy! Even better the next day for leftovers.
