Ingredients
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • ½ Onion
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 7 Mini Peppers
  • ¼ Cup Shredded Carrots
  • Any other veggies you feel would be a tasty addition! (Squash anyone?)
  • ½ - 1 lb Hamburger or sausage
  • ½ 12oz Beer ( I used Great White)
  • 6 Pieces Thick Cut Bacon
  • 1 16 oz Kidney Beans
  • 1 16 oz Black Beans
  • 1 11 oz Tomato Sauce
  • Spice Mix:
  • 2 teaspoons Cumin

  • 3 teaspoons Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 3 teaspoons Chilli Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Paprika
Instructions
  1. Cook Bacon (Oven method easiest)
  2. Chop veggies to bite size (I do small strips of peppers and diced onions, minced garlic.)
  3. Heat Olive Oil until it sizzles when veggies touch it.
  4. Throw in veggies and cook on high until soft and slightly caramelized. (5-10 min)
  5. Add in Hamburger or sausage and brown. (5-10 min)
  6. Strain.
  7. Put back into pot on high and pour in beer.
  8. Reduce until the alcohol cooks off (the liquid will reduce about half. Takes 5-10 min)
  9. Add in spice, beans, sauce, and bacon.
  10. Simmer until ready to eat!
  11. (Makes about 7 cups of chili)
