Anyone who knows me personally knows I love to enjoy a cold beer… especially in this delicious Beer Beef Chili recipe!
This chili is a tad spicy, although not intolerable at all and has TONS of flavor. I like my chili with a little kick but I don’t want to make faces while eating it. 🙂
This recipe pretty much fills up a 6-quart dutch oven so it feeds a crowd!
I always add mushrooms to just about anything I can, but if you’re not a fan of mushrooms simply omit them. Top it off with your favorite chili toppings! Today I used shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and cilantro.
Enjoy!
