Hearty Beer Chili Recipe for a Cozy Night

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (or turkey for a lighter option)
  • 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes (with juice)
  • 1 bottle (12 oz) beer (preferably a lager or ale)
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, cilantro

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients and chop the vegetables.
  2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.
  5. Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (including juice), kidney beans, and black beans. Stir well to combine.
  6. Slowly add the beer to the mixture, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  8. After simmering, taste the chili and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more spices or salt to suit your palate.
  9. Once the chili has thickened and the flavors are well combined, it’s ready to serve!

Notes

  • This chili is perfect for a cozy night in.
  • Adjust the cayenne pepper to control the heat level.
  • Serve with your choice of toppings.
