Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 2 tomatoes (peeled)
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 cup beer (Ale or Stout)
  • 8 oz can of tomato sauce
  • 4 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 16 oz can of pinto beans (or kidney beans)
  • 2 tbsp chipotle chili powder (or ancho chili powder)
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp dry jalapeno peppers (or use fresh ones)
  • salt to taste

Instruction

  • Heat up the oil in a large pot, over medium heat.
  • Add diced onion and saute until it starts to become transparent. Add diced tomatoes and bell pepper, saute until veggies soften. Add minced garlic, stir well and saute until fragrant.
  • Mix ground beef and ground pork together and add the mixture to the pot. Stir well, cover and cook stirring occasionally.
  • When the meat is almost all cooked (you will notice that it gave out a lot of juice), add the beer, stir and heat through.
  • Add the tomato sauce and tomato paste, stir well.
  • Add your spices (chili powder, cumin, sugar, dry jalapeno, oregano, and salt) and stir well.
  • Drain the beans well and add them to the chili. Stir well and cover.
  • Cook on medium-low to low heat, cover, and cook for about about an hour and a half. Make sure to stir occasionally. Taste to check if you need more salt or more heat.
