Okay, I have to have your rice cooker! I have a cheapo Black and Decker one. But it doesn’t have a timer and you have to take the rice out immediately or it burns.

Can I ask why you would add the Unsweetened Cocoa Powder?
Anne says
Some Mexican dishes call for unsweetened cocoa. Example, Mole has cocoa in it.

Yummy! I never thought about putting chili over rice. We do cornbread or baked potatoes. Going to give it a try next time we have chili.
