Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large red onion
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 8 ounces Italian sausage
- 1/4 cup chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 (4-oz) can tomato paste
- 1 (12-oz) bottle beer
- 1 (28-oz) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (14-oz) can whole peeled tomatoes
- 1 (15-oz) can black beans
- 1 (15-oz) can kidney beans
- 1 (15-oz) can pinto beans
- cheddar cheese, shredded, for topping
- Sour cream , for topping
- green onions, chopped, for topping
Directions
Add the olive oil to a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onions and peppers and saute until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until just fragrant. Stir in the beef and sausage, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon, and cook until browned. Drain the beef mixture through a colander placed over a large bowl. Add the meat back to the Dutch oven and stir in the chili powder, cumin and oregano. Cook for about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste into the beef; this will “toast” it and give the chili more flavor. Add the beer and stir up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer, and then add the whole tomatoes, diced tomatoes and beans. Simmer on medium-low for 2 hours, stirring on occasion to keep the bottom from sticking.
Top with shredded cheese, sour cream and chopped green onions before serving.

It is a matter of preference but he does drain his beans!

You certainly can, though the taste will be a little different, as chili powder is made exclusively from dried chilis and chili seasoning contains chili powder plus an assortment of other seasonings!
The Deen Team
At the same time as the diced tomatoes!
The Deen Team
You can just swap it for chicken or beef broth. Though the alcohol will cook out of the recipe, just leaving the flavor!

Sorry about that! The 28-ounce can is diced tomatoes. The 14-ounce can is whole peeled tomatoes. We've updated the recipe to reflect this correction.
