Killer Beef and Three Bean Chili Recipe
Description
The Killer Beef and Three Bean Chili Recipe starts by sautéing green bell peppers, onions, and garlic in butter and vegetable oil, building a savory base. Ground sirloin is browned alongside spices like New Mexico chili powder, cumin, coriander, and cinnamon for depth. Adding canned kidney, pinto, and chili beans along with enchilada sauce and lager beer, the chili simmers covered, then uncovered to develop thickness and meld flavors. This slow simmering method yields tender beef and a thick, aromatic chili. Serve with sliced jalapeño for a bit of heat and options like sour cream and cheddar for creaminess and richness.
The chili works well as a standalone entrée, paired with cornbread, rice, or a simple green salad. Its bold spice profile and textured beans create a satisfying dish for family meals or game day. The recipe’s detailed simmering steps ensure balance between thick and saucy, adaptable by adding water if needed.
