That's why I bookmarked it.

2 lbs. cubed beef (chuck roast or already cut stew meat or soup meat)
chopped onions, bell pepper, garlic (Or 1 container of Guidry's)
1 large can chopped tomatoes
1 bottle dark beer
beef stock
2 T. medium hot chili powder
2 tsp. ground red chipotle pepper
1 T sweet paprika
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. Mexican oregano
1 tsp. cocoa
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
Salt to taste (I season the meat with a seasoning blend so there is some salt in the pot)

Sear the beef in hot oil, toss in and wilt the chopped veggies, add the dry ingredients, followed by the beef stock and beer. Simmer on a low fire all afternoon, and add the beans near the end if you're using them.

If I add beans, I use Trappey's Red Kidney Beans in Chili Gravy and black beans.

This is only a guide. I don't usually measure, but the first time I made chili without using some kind of chili mix where someone else figured out the proportions, I needed to measure and this is the result. Sometimes I also add Italian sausage (out of the casing) which I have browned. Sometimes I add dried anchos or guajillo peppers which I have rehydrated. Instead of beef stock, you could use beef base.

Instead of all of those spices, you could buy Penzey's Chili 9000 and use it. The flavor is delicious.

I call that dump soup and I've never understood why people like it. I don't care for it at all myself, but people seem to eat it.

That recipe is not chili for starters.

That thread should be stickied for the next 3 months or so.

Dawg, first it's blanched frozen whole crawfish from the ditch in your yard boiled in Old Bay.Now, it's chili with mushrooms and, lawd forbid, beans. I don't know what we're going to do with you!
