Best Pork Beans Beer Chili Recipes

BEEF, BEAN, AND BEER CHILI

Steps:

• Place a pot over high heat. Drizzle in vegetable oil. Add diced onion, ground beef, and salt. Break up meat with wooden spoon into small pieces as it browns. After meat browns and releases its juices, continue stirring until the released liquid evaporates, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-high. Add garlic, chile powder, cumin, paprika, black pepper, and cinnamon. Cook and stir until mixture begins to darken, 3 or 4 minutes.
• Stir in beer. Add cocoa powder, oregano, cayenne, water, and tomato puree; stir well. Bring to a simmer; adjust heat to medium-low. Simmer 30 minutes.
• Stir in diced green pepper and pinto beans. If mixture becomes too thick, add a bit more water. Simmer until peppers are tender and flavors have blended, about 30 more minutes.

PORK, BEANS & BEER CHILI

Steps:

• 1. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper and add half of it to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer the meat to a plate lined with paper towels; repeat with another 1 1/2 teaspoons of the oil and the remaining meat. 2. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil; heat until hot. Add onion and bell peppers; cook, stirring, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add tomato paste, garlic, cumin, chipotle (or jalapeños), and oregano. Cook the mixture, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Slowly stir in beer, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 2 minutes. 3. Stir in beans, tomatoes and their liquid, and the reserved pork; bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 30 minutes. Add lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with scallion greens or cilantro and serve.

PAT'S FAMOUS BEEF AND PORK CHILI

Steps:

• In large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until lightly crisp, stirring occasionally. Once the bacon is browned, add the garlic, onions, bell peppers, chili powder, cumin, chipotle chili powder, oregano, and smoked paprika and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook until the vegetables are tender and seasonings are aromatic. Add the beef and break it up with a wooden spoon. Once beef is broken up and beginning to brown, add the pork. Break up with wooden spoon like the beef, and brown, until no longer pink, roughly 4 minutes. Stir in the beer and beans. Toss together, then add the crushed and diced tomatoes. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper, if necessary. Transfer the chili to serving bowls and garnish with lime wedges, sour cream, shredded cheese, and sliced scallions.

BOLD BEAN AND PORK CHILI

BLUTO'S BEER CHILI

Steps:

• In a large cast iron skillet, heat the oil on medium high heat until quite hot and lightly brown the meat. Brown in three or four batches, to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
• Transfer the browned meat to a large Dutch oven or heavy casserole. Discard all but 3 tablespoons of fat from the skillet.
• Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium and add the garlic, onion and diced jalapeno pepper. Saute for 2 minutes, stirring often.
• Add the cumin, coriander, chile powder, paprika, chile flakes, oregano and sage to the skillet; stirring well to coat the onions, garlic and jalapenos with the spices. Continue cooking the spice mixture for another minute, stirring frequently to avoid scorching.
• Add the bell pepper, celery, crushed tomatoes with their juice and the canned chiles. Stir well with a wooden spoon, scraping the bottom and sides to loosen any tasty bits stuck to the skillet. Transfer contents of the skillet to the Dutch oven and place over medium high heat.
• Add the beef stock, bay leaf and beer to the dutch oven, stirring well to mix all the ingredients.
• Bring the chili to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and with the pot half covered, cook at a simmer from 1 to 2 hours, until the meat is tender.
• If you are adding beans: When the meat is tender, add the cooked beans and simmer another 20 minutes. Hot beans may also be held on the side and added by request.
• Note: If you want the chili to be a little thicker, add 2 tablespoons of the corn meal or masa harina a little at a time, stirring constantly. This will tighten the chili up some and add a subtle, earthy flavor.
• Politically incorrect, somewhat humorous safety tip: No matter how great you've been told you look in one, never wear a toga when working around an open flame. (Or an open toga when around a flaming worker).
