A hearty and flavorful dish combining traditional chili with the rich taste of Guinness beer.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup Guinness beer
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped bell pepper. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the bell pepper is tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef or turkey. Cook until the meat is browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the meat and vegetables in the spices and allow them to bloom for about 1 minute.
  4. Add the drained kidney beans and canned diced tomatoes to the pot. Pour in the Guinness beer and stir everything together.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer covered for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot, and enjoy!

Notes

For a lighter option, use lean ground turkey. Feel free to swap kidney beans with other types of beans for variety.
