Introduction
This is a hearty and flavorful chili featuring ground beef, pinto beans, and a full bottle of beer for a deep, complex flavor. The addition of spices like ancho chili powder and a hint of unsweetened cocoa powder creates a rich and satisfying dish perfect for any occasion.
Step 1
Heat a little vegetable oil in a large pot over high heat. Add the diced onions.
Step 2
Add the ground beef and season with salt. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat as it begins to cook.
Step 3
Continue cooking and stirring, breaking the meat into small crumbles. Allow the liquid released from the meat and onions to fully evaporate.
Step 4
While the meat browns, prepare your spice mix by combining black pepper, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Step 5
Once the meat mixture is relatively dry, reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the minced garlic and the prepared spice blend.

Important Notes
Do not drain the fat and liquid after browning the beef; cooking it down concentrates the flavor.
Any type of beer you enjoy drinking will work in this recipe.
The consistency of the chili can be adjusted by adding more water or stock during the simmering process.
You can skim off any excess fat that pools on the surface before serving if you prefer a leaner chili.
