Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 lbs. ground beef
- 1 large onion, diced (about 2 cups total)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed (about 4 teaspoons total)
- 1 (12-14 ounce) bottle or can of beer
- ¼ cup tomato paste
- 2 (28 ounce) cans whole peeled tomatoes with their juices
- 2 ½ tablespoons chili powder
- 1-2 teaspoons brown sugar (or increase to 1 tablespoon for a sweeter flavor)
- 2 ½ teaspoons cumin
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less, to taste)
- 1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen corn, thawed
- Optional, for serving: cornbread; corn chips; cheese; sour cream; sliced green onions/chives; cilantro; avocado; diced red onion
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef, onion, and garlic; sauté until the meat is no longer pink. Drain fat and return beef mixture to the pot.
- Add the beer and cook until the beer is evaporated, about 10 minutes.
- Add the tomato paste, whole tomatoes and their juices, chili powder, brown sugar, cumin, salt, pepper, bay leaf, oregano, and cayenne. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer the chili over very low heat for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Break up the big tomatoes with a wooden spoon or a fork as you stir.
- Add the beans and corn; simmer the mixture for 20 more minutes. Remove the lid during the final 20 minutes to allow the chili to thicken, if desired.
- Discard the bay leaf. Ladle chili into individual serving bowls; garnish with desired toppings.
Notes
- Slow Cooker Beer Chili: brown the beef, onion, and garlic in a skillet. Drain off the fat, then add the beer as directed. Simmer the beer as instructed, then transfer the mixture to a slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients, cover, and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours. You can wait to add the corn and beans during the final 1 hour, or you can just throw them in with the rest of the ingredients.
