In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the coffee, ketchup, water, chopped onions, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Add more water as needed to reach your desired consistency.
While bringing the mixture to a boil, mix the ground chilli peppers, cumin, finely chopped garlic, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, salt, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
Once the broth reaches a boil, add the spice mixture, kidney beans, and corn. Stir well.
Shape the minced meat into large chunks and slowly stir into the broth. Add the bay leaf and bring back to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer without a lid for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes and adding more water as needed for desired consistency.
Remove the bay leaf and skim off any excess fat if desired. Top with cheddar cheese.
The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
