Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound hot pork sausage
  • Salt and pepper to season meat
  • 2 red onions chopped
  • 2 green peppers seeded and chopped
  • 2 jalapenos seeded and chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons cumin
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 12 ounces dark beer
  • 2 cans of diced tomatoes
  • 1 can of black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup of frozen or canned corn
  • 1 can beef broth low sodium

Instructions

  • In a large saute pan, add the meat along with salt, pepper and garlic. Start to brown the meat.
  • About halfway through the browning process, add the onions, green peppers and jalapenos to the pan to sweat them out a bit.
  • Once the meat is browned and the veggies are softened, add it all to a crock pot along with the diced tomatoes (juice and all), tomato paste, beans, corn, cumin, chili powder, and paprika.
  • Then add the beer. Finally add the beef stock until the liquid just covers the mixture.
  • Give it a good mix and set it on low for 6-8 hours.
  • Make sure to have some diced onions and jalapenos to top, as well as cheese and sour cream.

Notes

If you like it spicy, I add about a 1/2 cup of Sriracha to the mix, but if you’re serving a crowd I usually forgo this and just have it available to add individually.
