More About This Recipe

Guinness stout beer will work fine for this, but a seriously heavy porter will add deeper flavors to this chili.

Amazing chili recipe, I used the mild chili powder from this site, and had to sub. beef stock for the beer, but it still came out fantastic. The chili had a slow burning heat that increased the more you ate, and kept you coming for bite after bite. We topped our bowls with sour cream, cheddar and chopped raw onion and it all had such a delicious rich unctuousness to it. This is probably going to be my go-to chili recipe from now on.
