Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 bell peppers, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, grated or finely minced
  • 1 ½ lb lean ground beef

Spices and Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cinnamon stick (or ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon)

Liquids and Canned Goods

  • 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 14 ounce can of Guinness (approx. 440ml)
  • 19 ounce can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed

Optional Toppings

  • Sour cream
  • Grated cheddar cheese
  • Green onions

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat the avocado oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped celery, bell peppers, and garlic to the pot, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Brown the Meat: Add the lean ground beef to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add Spices and Liquids: Stir in the chili powder, paprika, cumin, coriander, oregano, sea salt, pepper, and the cinnamon stick. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and Guinness beer, mixing everything together thoroughly.
  4. Simmer the Chili: Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the mixture uncovered for 30 minutes, allowing the chili to thicken and the flavors to meld.
  5. Add Beans and Season: Stir in the drained and rinsed kidney beans. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
  6. Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls and top with your choice of sour cream, grated cheddar cheese, and green onions for added creaminess and flavor.

Notes

  • The Guinness adds a deep malt flavor and slight bitterness; if unavailable, a stout beer or dark ale may be substituted for similar richness.
  • Drain and rinse the kidney beans to reduce sodium content and improve texture.
  • For a spicier chili, add cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to taste.
  • This chili can be made a day ahead; flavors improve with time and it reheats well.
