Ingredients | |
|---|---|
| 1 | (15 ounce) can pinto beans or (15 ounce) can black beans, can use up to 3 cans |
| 1 | large green bell pepper, cored and diced |
| 1 | tablespoon garlic powder |
| 1 | (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, with puree (I use Progresso) |
| 1 | pinch red pepper flakes |
| 1 | teaspoon cumin (to taste) |
| ⅓ | cup good quality chili powder, I use Gebhardt's |
| 0.25 (24 ounce) jar ortega thick & chunky salsa | |
| 0.25 (12 ounce) can beer | |
| ¾ | lb cubed sirloin (or same amount of ground beef) |
| ¼ | lb cubed pork butt (or same amount ground pork) |
| ½ | cup butter (1 cube) |
Instructions
-
- Begin by sautéing the cubed sirloin and pork butt in butter until well done. If using ground meats, brown them together, drain, and then add 1 cube of butter. Add this mixture to the beans in a separate pot. Cover and simmer for approximately 1 1/2 hours. Stir in 1/4 can of beer and heat through.
- Serve the chili with hot flour or corn tortillas and enjoy the remaining cold beer! For added flavor, top with chopped onions and grated cheese.
- I have fond memories of "hamburger" chili from my childhood. This recipe offers a delightful twist with a choice of cubed or ground meats. Both variations are delicious and versatile, allowing you to pick your preference. This chili recipe is perfect for doubling or tripling and freezes exceptionally well.
