## Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large red onion
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 8 ounces Italian sausage
- 0.25 cup chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 (4-oz) can tomato paste
- 1 (12-oz) bottle beer
- 1 (28-oz) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (14-oz) can whole peeled tomatoes
- 1 (15-oz) can black beans
- 1 (15-oz) can kidney beans
- 1 (15-oz) can pinto beans
- cheddar cheese, shredded, for topping
- Sour cream, for topping
- green onions, chopped, for topping

## Instructions

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