Guinness Chili






Have you missed me? I've been in the process of moving. I don't like moving, it's a lot of work. However, I am excited to begin this new chapter of my life.

Anyway, when fighting a cold, I only crave two things: soup and juice. I love chili because it is hearty and can be made quickly.





First, brown the ground beef.





While the beef is browning, add diced onions and garlic to the pan, seasoning the beef.




Add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, white kidney beans, and tomato paste to the crock pot. Season with cayenne pepper, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper.






Pour 11 ounces of Guinness to the pot and pour the rest in a glass for yourself.





Mix in the beef, onions, and garlic.





For spice I added diced dried pasilla pepper and one diced habanero pepper. Like I mentioned, I currently cannot taste anything that doesn't have spice.

I let mine simmer in the crock pot for a little over two hours, stirring occasionally.




Enjoy!

    1. My guys loved it as well! I think it has to do a lot with incorporating beer and spice.
