Chili Recipe

Servings: 6 people

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground protein of choice (optional - this can be a vegetarian dish by just leaving out the meat)

• 1.5 cup cooked beans

• 1/2 can whole peeled tomatoes

• 2 whole onions, chopped

• 1 head garlic, chopped

• 2 whole bell peppers, diced

• 3 whole carrots, diced

• 3 stalks celery, diced

• 1 pound mushrooms, chopped

• 1/2 piece squash, diced

• 1 T ground coriander to start : re-season as the dish cooks

• 2 T ground paprika to start : re-season as the dish cooks

• 1/2 T ground cumin to start : re-season as the dish cooks

Instructions

1. If you are using protein, you will coat the protein with spices and sear off first. For shrimp & chicken, remove the protein from the pot & set aside after searing. For ground beef, just continue to the next step.

2. Add chopped onion & garlic first and sweat for a few minutes. Be sure to season with salt & pepper during this step.

3. Add the rest of your veggies of choice & spices and cook off a bit. Be sure to season with salt/pepper again.

4. Add more if necessary spices & stir and cook another couple minutes.

5. Add beer and let reduce for 3 minutes.

6. Add canned tomato, cooked beans & if you want it a bit spicy you can chop some chilis (jalapeño, serrano, etc.) & add that, too.

7. Add chopped Kale & re-season to taste with salt/pepper. Simmer for 20 more minutes.

8. Enjoy! Great served with pico de gallo, sour cream and lime as well!
