Equipment

  • Dutch oven or large pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pounds cooked chuck roast shredded or chopped
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 green bell pepper seeded and diced
  • 1 jalapeno seeded and diced
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 ½ tablespoons chili powder divided
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 14.5 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
  • 14.5 ounces canned black beans rinsed and drained
  • 14.5 ounces canned fire-roasted tomatoes
  • ½ cup leftover braising liquid optional
  • 1 ½ cups beef broth
  • 1 cup beer
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Add olive oil, onions, jalapeno, and green bell pepper in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the onions have softened. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the tomato paste and spices, stir, and cook for one minute.
  • Add in the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 45-60 minutes or until the chili has thickened.
  • To serve, top with optional toppings, such as cheddar cheese, green onions, sour cream, tortilla chips, Cheez-Its, and sliced jalapenos.

Notes

Toast the spices – Cooking the chili powder and cumin with the tomato paste before adding liquids deepens the flavor.
Let it simmer uncovered – This helps the flavors concentrate and the chili thicken.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
To reheat warm on the stove over low heat or microwave in short bursts.
