How to Make A Beef Chili
- 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.
- Add minced garlic and cook for about 2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add chopped onion and green bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in crushed tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Add stewed tomatoes, salsa verde, and minced jalapeño peppers.
- Add drained and rinsed kidney beans (or add cooked beans if using).
- Pour in the beer, stir to combine.
- 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!
- Serve hot, topped with your favorite chili toppings (sour cream, shredded cheese, green onions, etc.) and enjoy with cornbread!
