Ingredients
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil2 lb ground sirloin2 tbsp grill seasoning (recommended: McCormick's Montreal Steak)1 medium yellow onion, chopped3 ribs celery, chopped1 large red bell pepper, seeded and chopped1 anaheim or poblano pepper, chopped4 to 6 cloves garlic, chopped2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce2 tbsp chili powder1 tbsp cumin1 bottle imported beer (I usually use Killian's)1 15-oz can black beans1 15-oz can crushed tomatoes1 cup beef stock2 tbsp thyme leaves (fresh is better, but dried works too)1 pinch cinnamon (optional)8 oz smoked gouda
Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and add the meat. Season with grill seasoning, brown and crumble for 3-5 minutes. Drain the grease and set aside.
Heat a deep pot over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add chopped onions, celery, peppers, and garlic, and cook for a few minutes until they begin to soften. Add the meat back, season with Worcestershire, chili powder, and cumin. Add beer and reduce by half, about 5 minutes.
Add the black beans, tomatoes, stock, and thyme and simmer for about 30 minutes. The longer the better, as with all chili. If you want, add a pinch of cinnamon for depth of flavor (I always find it adds that "little something extra").
Top bowls of chili with shredded smoked gouda and serve with crackers or cornbread. Enjoy!
Serving Size: Makes about 10-12 one-cup servings
