In reply to Annie. Good comments! I will adjust the recipe. I don't really measure the chocolate. I am making this tonight and used about a tbsp of dark chocolate chips because I had them on hand. So, for that I would suggest eyeballing it a bit. Yes, I do mean that much salt. But I wait until toward the end to salt...to taste. And for the beans, according to google: one 15oz can of cooked beans is roughly 1.75 cups drained, making it equivalent to 1/4 to 1/3 lbs ( or 1/2 to 3/4 cup) dried. Good luck! My chili is smelling delicious right now on the stovetop!

This looks like an awesome way to get liver into all of us, not just kids. I really want to try it! *mouth watering*
My only complaints (small ones) are about the amounts. Like with “1 square dark chocolate”. Not all chocolate bars have the same size squares. And…I don’t know how many cups of dried beans (or even cooked, dried beans) are in a “can”. There’s a few of us out here that rarely use canned beans. I’m thinking that with this recipe the amount isn’t critical but still, I like to make it the way you did at least the first time and then adjust it later if I want to.
Another question: Do you really mean 1 to 2 tablespoons salt? That seems like a lot.
Can’t wait to try this.

OKOK. I will try this. I really need to start eating liver. I have even considered freezing it and cutting it into pill size pieces to swallow!

Do you add the ground beef back into the pot?

I’m anxious to try this recipe! We have a bag of chicken livers sitting in my freezer and have been too intimidated to try cooking them. This recipe sounds promising!
