Kerbi had posted her Chili recipe and I commented that I would have to argue that mine is better...haha! I am sure they both are great! So, she asked for the recipe and I thought that since we are having cold weather and I am wanting to eat chili at least once a week right now, I would just make a post out of it in case anyone else is in need of a great chili recipe! This is a beer chili, but you really can't taste the beer, it is wonderful!
Ingredients
1 bacon slice, finely chopped (I don't use the bacon because I rarely ever have it, so I just use oil to cook the onion)
2 1/4 cups finely chopped onion, divided (about 2 medium)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 lbs beef (or your meat of choice...ground turkey, sirloin, whatev!)
1 (12-ounce) can beer (such as Budweiser)
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (8-ounce) can no-salt-added tomato sauce
1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained (I skip the beans...yuck!)
1/2 cup (2 ounces) reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
Oyster crackers (optional)
Preparation
1. Cook bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat 5 minutes or until browned. Stir in 2 cups onion; cover and cook until onion is tender (about 5 minutes). Uncover and stir in garlic; cook for 1 minute.
2. Increase heat to medium-high; add beef to pan. Cook 5 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Add beer; cook until liquid is reduced to 1/3 cup (about 7 minutes). Stir in chili powder and next 5 ingredients (through tomato sauce). Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes or until mixture thickens. Stir in beans; cook 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Ladle 1 cup chili into each of 6 bowls. Top each serving with 4 teaspoons cheese and 2 teaspoons onion. Serve with crackers, if desired.
Enjoy!
