Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium Bell peppers (red and green), diced
- 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
- 6 ounces Tomato paste
- 12 ounces Coors beer
- 15 ounces Canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 15 ounces Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons Chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 assortment Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, cilantro
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced bell peppers to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), tomato paste, Coors beer, kidney beans, and black beans. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the chili simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After 40 minutes, taste the chili and adjust seasoning as needed. If thicker chili is desired, simmer uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes.
Stir in the sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
Serve hot with optional toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, or fresh cilantro.
