Instructions

  • All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
  • In a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Add the ground beef and sausage, breaking the meat up with a large spoon. Cook until just browned. Pour off any excess fat.
  • Add the onion, celery, bell peppers, and garlic to the pot. Stir well and sauté for approximately 5 minutes until the onion starts to soften.
  • Stir in the chili powder, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Continue to sauté for another 2 minutes until the spices are aromatic.
  • Stir in the tomato paste until well combined. Add the bouillon cubes and the beer. Stir and deglaze the pot and allow the beer to reduce for about 1 minute.
  • Add the beans, tomatoes, and sugar to the pot. Allow this to come to a boil. Then, turn the heat down to a low simmer.
  • Cover the pot and allow the chili to cook for at least 1 hour or until the consistency is at the thickness you desire, stirring occasionally.
  • Taste the chili and season with salt and pepper, as needed. Serve while warm with toppings on the side.
