How to Make A Beef Chili

1. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.
2. Add minced garlic and cook for about 2 minutes, until fragrant.
3. Add chopped onion and green bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir in crushed tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well.
5. Add stewed tomatoes, salsa verde, and minced jalapeño peppers.
6. Add drained and rinsed kidney beans (or add cooked beans if using).
7. Pour in the beer, stir to combine.
8. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 2 hours, or longer for a deeper flavor. The longer it simmers, the better it tastes!
9. Serve hot, topped with your favorite chili toppings (sour cream, shredded cheese, green onions, etc.) and enjoy with cornbread!
