You can't go wrong with a guinness chili recipe.

1. 2 tblsp olive oil
2. large yellow onion, chopped
3. 1 red or green pepper, chopped
4. 5 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
5. 5-6 garlic cloves, minced
6. 1 lb ground sirloin or a higher end meat. (I just feel that the chili is better with a leaner higher grade beef but this can be up to you)
7. 2 to 3 tblsp chili powder
8. 2 tsp sea salt
9. 2 to 3 tsp ground cumin
10. t tsp freshly ground black pepper
11. 1/4 tsp dried basil
12. 1 12 oz. bottle Guinness or another dark beer
13. 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
14. 1 28 oz. can fire roasted diced tomatoes (try hunt’s or rotel)
15. 2 tblsp tomato paste
16. 2 (14. 0z) chicken or beef broth
17. 1 bay leaf
18. 2 15 oz. black beans

Garnished: Fritos (as stated above) pepper jack cheese and sour cream

Preparation:
Heat oil in a big sauce pan or a dutch oven over medium heat; add onion. Reduce heat to low, and cook the onion 10 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add bell pepper and cook 5 minutes. Add chipotle peppers and garlic, cook one minute. Add beef and next 5 ingredients. Stir in beer and simmer about 2 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and next 4 ingredients. Bring to a low boil and reduce heat to medium to medium low. Simmer, uncovered, 30-40 minutes. Add beans, stir, and continue to simmer until liquid has reduced slightly and the chili has become thicker. (After adding beans, I usually simmer another 30-45 minutes).

Enjoy!!
