Provided by tulawdog

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lbs Ground Beef, combination of top round and brisket is our favorite
6 strips (300g) Bacon, diced
1 lrg Sweet Onion, diced
4 cloves Garlic, crushed
1 -2 Habaneros, finely diced
1 c (237ml) BBQ Sauce
2 t (10g) Cayenne Pepper
2 t (10g) Chili Powder
2 t (10g) ground Cumin
2 T (30g) Paprika
2 T (30g) Brown Sugar
1 t (5g) fresh cracked Black Pepper
1/4 c (30g) Masa (corn flour), addition inspired by Pioneer Woman's Chili Recipe
1 12 oz Beer

Steps:

  • 1. Heat a large sauce pan (preferably cast iron) over med-high heat. Add ground beef and bacon and cook until it is nearly cooked through and browned, stirring occasionally. Next add onion, garlic and habaneros and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until onions start to soften. 2. Add BBQ sauce, spices, brown sugar, fresh cracked pepper, masa and beer. Stir to combine, bring to a simmer, then lower heat to keep at a gentle simmer. Cook for 30 min - 1 hour, (flavors will develop more with the longer cooking time but isn't a requirement) adding more beer or water if necessary to maintain a good "moistness" to the chili. 3. Serve the chili warm. Serving suggestions - Toppings- cheese, sour cream, diced green onions. As a base or alongside - tortilla chips, crusty bread, in a quesadilla, on fries, over a sausage dog or burger, as a pizza sauce, with pasta... The variations are endless!
