1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, crumbling beef as it cooks. Drain excess fat. Add garlic, onion, and poblano chili. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender; about 5 minutes.
2. Place ground beef mixture into a 6-quart slow cooker. Stir in all other ingredients except the chocolate pieces. Cover and cook on low heat for 7-8 hours.
3. Stir in chopped chocolate until blended, and serve. Garnish with sour cream, green onions, corn chips…whatever makes you feel all the feels.
