Description

This robust chili is a crowd-pleasing classic that combines tender beef chuck with a rich tomato base and aromatic spices. The blend of onions, celery, green peppers, and jalapenos provides a fresh, savory depth, while chili powder and cumin bring warmth and complexity. Slow-cooked for hours, the flavors meld together to create a thick, satisfying stew that is perfect for chilly evenings, tailgates, or family dinners. Serve it over rice, with cornbread, or simply in a bowl with your favorite toppings. It's a dish that tastes even better the next day, making it an ideal meal for entertaining or leftovers.

Directions

  1. Dice the onions, green peppers, celery, jalapeno, and garlic.
  2. In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, sauté the diced vegetables over medium heat until softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the ground beef to the pot and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat if desired.
  4. Stir in the diced green chiles, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, and cumin. Mix well to combine.
  5. Pour in half of the beer (reserve the other half for drinking!).
  6. Add the mineral water and bay leaves. Stir to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
  7. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for about 3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  8. Remove bay leaves. Season with salt, pepper, and Tabasco sauce to taste.
  9. Serve hot in bowls.
