Warm, bold, and brimming with flavor, this hearty chili brings together the earthiness of fire-roasted green chilies, the deep complexity of a dark beer, and the bold kick of chili powder. Slow-simmered to perfection, each spoonful delivers a balance of smoky heat, rich savory notes, and just the right amount of malty bitterness from the beer. Perfect for game day, cold nights, or anytime you're craving a bowl of something deeply satisfying and packed with Southwest flair.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons oil

  • 1 # ground beef

  • 3 roasted green chiles, diced

  • 1 onion, diced

  • 5 cloves garlic, minced

  • 4 oz. tomato paste

  • 2 oz. dark chocolate

  • 1 bottle stout

  • 3 cups V8

  • 1-28 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes, drained

  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo

  • ½ tablespoon cumin, ground

  • 1-2 tablespoons Gather Chili Powder, adjust to your taste

  • Salt and pepper

  • Optional: 2-3 tablespoons masa, to thicken

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a dutch oven and brown the ground beef. Remove beef to a bowl – keep the fat in the pot.

  2. Add the roasted green chiles and onion and saute for 4-5 minutes.  Season with salt and pepper.  Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 sec – 1 minute.

  3. Add the tomato paste and let caramelize for 1 minute, stirring continuously.  Do not let it burn.
