More About This Recipe

  • Have you ever tried a chili recipe with beer? If not, the time is now. Adding beer to your chili adds deeper flavor and malts that balance nicely with chili’s spicy and smoky ingredients. What beer you decide to use is up to you! Some people prefer to add light pilsners to their batch of chili, while others prefer the stronger flavors from the malts in darker beers like porters and stouts. Experiment with your favorite beers and see which one you like best. And don’t worry—the alcohol cooks off and the liquid cooks down while the chili simmers, leaving you with the best bowl of hearty, flavorful chili you’ll ever make.
