Chicago-Style Chili
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 4 (14.5 ounce) cans kidney beans
  • 4 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) bottle beer
  • 1 (12 ounce) bottle tomato-based chili sauce
  • 1 large white onion, chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chili seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
1
Begin by heating a substantial amount of ground beef in a large cooking vessel over an intermediate heat level until it is uniformly browned. Discard any surplus fat that accumulates during this process.
2
Combine the ground beef with a mixture of kidney beans, diced tomatoes, beer, chili sauce, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, a blend of spices including chili seasoning, black pepper, garlic powder, additional chopped onion, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, sugar, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine.
3
Heat the mixture over high intensity until it reaches a rolling boil. Gradually decrease the heat to a low setting and allow the stew to simmer for approximately 4 hours, periodically stirring the contents to maintain even cooking.
