Beer Chili Recipe

I love chili.

It is so versatile. It can be made gluten-free, have plenty of servings of vegetables and can be eaten alone, in a taco shell or even on a hot dog. I like to add sour cream & cheddar cheese to mine.

Yum.

This time though, I came across a recipe for Beer Chili, and because of my husband’s love of chili, I decided to give it a try.

When I first poured the beer into the chili, I was struck by how strong it smelled like beer.

I am not a fan of beer.

I would rather smell stinky cheese.

Or feet.

Well. No. Scratch the feet.

Figuratively.

If your feet itch, go away.

Anyhow, the smell abated and what we were left with was pure chili awesomeness.

We all loved this. My son had 3 bowls, my daughter 2 bowls, and I honestly lost count of how many my husband had.

“This is a keeper,” my son exclaimed after his first bite.

    I made this last night for my college boys, who are home for the holidays. I got one small bowl and they killed the rest of the pot between the two of them. Overheard a lot of talk about dorm food. Imagine? Thanks! 🙂

    This looks great! I am #NSNG and wonder about the brown sugar. Is that amount so low that it does not matter or can I make it without it?

      I bet it would be fine without it. I’m not sure the beer is #NSNG – in theory it cooks off and the brown sugar may too. I’m just not sure. You will have to ask Vinnie 🙂

      I really was great though!

    With the cooler temps we had our first chili of the season last week. I love the addition of carrots to this. Like you though, I can’t stand the smell of beer, it is gag-worthy lol. This looks amazing.

    I like that you use beef AND pork – that’s a twist I’ve never tried in my chili. It’s like 47 degrees outside here right now, so this sounds like it would be a good dinner tonite 🙂
