Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef chuck
  • 2 large white onions, chopped
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can beer
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans spicy chili beans
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (e.g. TabascoTM), or to taste
  • 1/3 cup chili powder
  • 4 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 3 tablespoons red pepper flakes, or to taste (optional)

Method

  • Crumble the ground chuck into a skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until evenly browned. Drain grease. Transfer the beef to a large soup pot. Add onions, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beer and chili beans. Season with Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, chili powder, jalapenos, and red pepper flakes, if using.
  • Cover the pot, and simmer over low heat for 2 hours. Turn off heat, and let cool, then refrigerate for two days. It gets much better with time. Heat and serve.
