2 Bean 4 Alarm Vegetarian Beer Base Chili Recipes

WEEKNIGHT TWO-BEAN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; add the jalapenos, onions and vinegar and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook about 30 seconds.
• Stir in the broth, tomatoes, chili powder and five-spice powder if using, and increase the heat to high. Bring to a full boil and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the beans and return to a full boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until just slightly thickened but still soupy, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cilantro.
• Fill each bowl with about 1/2 cup of rice. Ladle the chili on top, sprinkle with the Cheddar and serve.

FOUR ALARM CHILI

Steps:

• Lightly oil the bottom of a 3-quart pot with olive oil and lightly sauté the onions, peppers and garlic. Do not brown.
• Add the ground sirloin and brown. Do not drain off fat; this adds to flavor of the chili.
• Mix all the dry ingredients and the hot sauce in the warm water and stir until well dissolved.
• Pour this seasoned water mixture into the meat, peppers, garlic and onions.
• Add the beans and the tomatoes and green chilies.
• Mix to blend all items. Bring to a gentle boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes to an hour, stirring occasionally.
• Serve with bread or crackers.
• *** If you want your chilli a bit more spiceier try adding a couple diced up habanerro peppers seeds and all.
