    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, chipotle chile powder, chili powder, salt and oregano and cook, stirring, until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the tomato paste, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  4. Add the ground beef and buffalo, breaking it up with a wooden spoon into smaller pieces. Cook until the meat is browned.
  5. Pour in the brown ale and simmer until it has reduced by half.
  6. Add the peeled tomatoes to the chili, using the back of a wooden spoon to break up the large tomatoes into smaller pieces. Add the crushed tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  7. When the chili reaches a boil, turn down the heat. Simmer partially covered for at least 2 hours over low heat. (Honestly, the longer this cooks, the better.)
  8. Serve warm with the garnish of your choosing, and enjoy hot!
