  2. Add 1 medium chopped onion and 1 green bell pepper (chopped) to the pot and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 (15-ounce) can of beer, 1 (15-ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 (15-ounce) can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed), and 1 cup of beef broth.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the chili has thickened to your desired consistency.
  7. Stir in the juice of 1/2 lime before serving. Garnish with your favorite chili toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped cilantro.
