Beer Chili con Carne
Beer Chili con Carne is my husband's favorite dish to make when his friends come over! A hearty meal made with beer that is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp celery salt
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 2 tsp spicy paprika paste or sriracha
- 1 tsp freshly ground cumin
- 4 small dried red chilis finely sliced
- 1 large white onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 cups dark beer
- 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
- 14 oz can black beans or kidney beans
- 14 oz can corn
Instructions
- Crush garlic, remove skin but leave the cloves in one piece. Peel and finely slice the onion.
- Mix the ground beef with the pepper, celery salt, salt, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, paprika paste, chilis, and cumin.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan or pot. Add the onion and fry it at medium heat until soft. Add the garlic cloves. After a minute turn up the heat and add the meat. Use a cooking spoon to divide it into smaller pieces as it goes into the pan. Fry until nicely browned. Browning the meat gives it a really good flavor!
- When the meat is nicely browned, deglaze the pan with the beer. Let it simmer for 1 minute.
- Add the diced tomatoes and give it a good stir. Let the chili simmer for 15 minutes. The tomatoes will be infused with the spices.
- Drain the black beans and the corn. Add to the pot. Let it heat up for a short time.
- Serve the Smoked Beer Chili con Carne in bowls. Top with shredded cheese, avocado or sour cream!
