Notes
To make this chili on the stove, instead of in a Crock Pot, follow these instructions:
Pour the olive oil into a large pot, or dutch oven, on the stove over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and cook for 4-5 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add the ground beef, crumble and cook until no longer pink, around 7-9 minutes. Drain any grease from the pot. Add the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, chipotle peppers, and stout beer to the pot. Season with adobo sauce, brown sugar, black pepper, paprika, cumin and salt. Stir everything together. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 20-30 minutes.

- Chipotle stout chili leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 6 days. The chili can be reheated in a pot on the stove over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, or until heated through. You can also add the chili back to a slow cooker and reheat on low for 1 hour.
- You can also freeze leftover chili for up to 6 months. After the chili is cooked, let it cool before moving it to the freezer.
