Cold Day: Beer Chili

[Chelios]

I found this on the web a few years back and I love it. I replaced Samuel Smiths with Guinness, and removed any and all references to beans.

2 lb ground beef
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp Lawry's seasoned salt
1/2 cup white onion diced
2-14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes
6 oz can tomato paste
4 oz can green chilies
1 tbsp ground cumin
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
24 oz Guinness Draught
2 cups water
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper

Brown beef with 1/4 tsp garlic powder, onion, and Lawry's seasoning, drain, and add to stock pot with remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 1-2 hours until flavor is blended. Top bowls with mild cheddar at serving.

I like this one:

From Emeril. Easy to make. I drop the Chips, sour cream, and I sub black beans for the kidneys.
The Link

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups chopped onions
Salt
Cayenne
2 pounds stew meat, cut into cubes
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
Crushed red pepper
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
3 cups crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup tomato paste
8 cups beef stock
2 tablespoons masa flour
4 tablespoons water
1 cup canned dark red kidney beans
1 bag tortilla chips
1 1/2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
6 tablespoons sour cream
1 small jar jalapenos


In a large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and saute for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the vegetables start to wilt. Season with salt and cayenne. Stir in the stew meat, chili powder, cumin, crushed red pepper, and oregano. Brown the meat for 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef stock. Bring the liquid up to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer the liquid, partially covered for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally, or until the beef is tender. Skim off the fat occasionally.
Mix the masa and water together. Slowly stir in the masa slurry, add the beans, and continue to cook for 30 minutes. Reseason with salt and cayenne. Place a handful of the chips in each shallow bowl. Spoon the chili over the chips. Garnish with the grated cheese, sour cream and jalapenos.
