Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large green bell pepper diced
- 1 large red bell pepper diced
- 1/2 red onion finely diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 28 oz. diced tomatoes
- 4 oz. chopped jalapeños or green chiles
- 4 oz. tomato paste
- 15 oz. kidney beans drained and rinsed
- 15 oz. black beans drained and rinsed
- 15 oz. garbanzo beans drained and rinsed
- 12 oz. light beer we used a lager
- 1/4 cup chili seasoning
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large stockpot over medium/high heat.
- When olive oil is fragrant, add onion, bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, turn to low heat and let simmer for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftover chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The chili will thicken as it sits, so you may need to add a little water to it before reheating and enjoying.
- Freezing Instructions: Let the chili cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- Beer: Use your favorite kind of beer in this chili recipe. We used a light lager for a lighter flavor, but any kind words.
