A delicious and hearty chili recipe perfect for family dinners or gatherings.
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the ground beef.
Ensure the beef is broken into small pieces for even cooking.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Pour in the dark beer and let it simmer for a few minutes to reduce slightly.
Scrape the bottom of the pot to incorporate all the browned bits.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, green chilies, salt, and pepper.
Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Add the kidney beans and pinto beans to the pot and mix thoroughly.
Rinse the beans if using canned to reduce sodium content.
Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Check occasionally to ensure the chili doesn't stick to the bottom.
Serve the chili in bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese or sour cream.
Pair with a side of cornbread for a complete meal.
