Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef diced
- 1 cup yellow onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced, seeds removed
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp chipotle seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 6 oz. tomato paste
- 28 oz. fire roasted diced tomatoes with juices
- 30 oz. canned black eyed peas drained and rinsed
- 12 oz. beer
- 1 cup water optional, as needed
Instructions
- Add beef, onion, bell pepper, and oil to a large dutch oven, then cook over medium heat until the beef is no longer pink and the vegetables are soft. Then, add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute before adding in the paprika, oregano, chipotle, salt, sugar, and tomato paste and sauté for 1 more minute.
- Next, add the tomatoes with their juices, then add the rinsed black eyed peas and pour in the beer. Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer, cover the pot and simmer the chili for 30 minutes.
- As the chili cools, it will thicken. If you like your chili thick, leave it as-is, but if not, you can add a little bit of water to thin it out.
- Top chili with cheese, sour cream, jalapeño, crushed tortilla chips, or whatever else you'd like and enjoy!
Notes
*Calories are per serving and are an estimation
*Store chili in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; chili will thicken in the refrigerator, so when you're reheating, you may need to add a little bit of water to it.
