Photo: Game Day Chili Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1 (12-ounce) bottle beer
- 3 cups black beans
- 2 (14-ounce) cans tomato sauce
- 1 (14-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 2 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- Kosher salt
- Sour cream, for garnish
- Grated Cheddar, for garnish
- Chopped scallions, for garnish
Directions
In a large saucepan or small Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until the fat renders and the bacon is cooked, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and cook until the onion softens, about 5 more minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the beef and cook until no longer pink. Raise the heat to medium-high, deglaze with the beer, and allow to bubble and boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the beans, tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, chili powder, red pepper flakes, cocoa, and salt. Stir to combine well. Simmer for 30 minutes, or more, and serve with sour cream, shredded cheese, and chopped scallion, if desired.

Made this last night - substituted kidney beans for black beans, added some green chiles and green pepper, and simmered for about 1.5 hours. Served with corn bread as well. The chili was phenomenal - I couldn't believe how tasty it was. Even my boyfriend - who will eat anything put in front of him without much comment - stated, "wow, this is really good!" So that's the best review you can possibly get. : Definitely quick and easy, very delicious, and plan on making this much more in the future.
