Jamie’s Award Winning Chili
Directions
- 1Add the olive oil to a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- 2Once hot, add the onions and peppers and saute until soft, about 4 minutes.
- 3Add the garlic and saute until just fragrant.
- 4Stir in the beef and sausage, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon, and cook until browned.
- 5Drain the beef mixture through a colander placed over a large bowl.
- 6Add the meat back to the Dutch oven and stir in the chili powder, cumin and oregano.
- 7Cook for about 2 minutes.
- 8Stir in the tomato paste into the beef; this will “toast” it and give the chili more flavor.
- 9Add the beer and stir up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
- 10Bring to a simmer, and then add the whole tomatoes, diced tomatoes and beans.
- 11Simmer on medium-low for 2 hours, stirring on occasion to keep the bottom from sticking.
- 12Top with shredded cheese, sour cream and chopped green onions before serving.
