  • Difficulty:
    Easy

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 bottle of your favorite beer
  • 2-28 ounce cans of fire-roasted tomatoes, crushed (or canned whole tomatoes in the food processor for a few seconds)
  • 2-15 ounce cans black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 small can sliced Jalapeno peppers, drained and diced very fine (be careful to wash your hands!)
  • 2 cups fresh tomato salsa (find it at most stores or make your own recipe)
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle powder (find it in the spice aisle; add a bit more if you like that smoky heat)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt 

Instructions

  • Brown the ground beef and onion in a skillet until the beef is quite brown and the onions are softened. Drain off the liquid. 
  • Return to the heat and pour the beer over the mixture to deglaze the pan. Pour that mixture into your crock-pot. 
  • Add the remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on your lowest setting for 4 hours for the flavors to develop. 
  • Check the salt and seasonings before serving.
  • Serve with condiments: Sour cream, grated cheese, sliced jalapenos, green onion, hot sauce, or any of your favorite chili toppings.

Yield: 18 (6 ounce) servings or almost 1 gallon of chili
