Ingredients

1 - 2 kg ground beef

1 cup chopped onions

2 tsp minced garlic


1 can (28 oz/796 ml) diced tomatoes, undrained

1 can (19 oz/540 ml) red kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (19 oz/540 ml) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (16 oz) pinto or romano beans, drained and rinsed

1 can beef consommé

1 can beer (355 ml)

1 can (5.5 oz/156 ml) tomato paste

1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped celery

1 cup medium salsa

1 T Worcestershire


1 1/2 T chili powder

1 1/2 t cumin

1 t cilantro

1/2 t ground black pepper

1/2 t paprika

2 tsp dried Italian seasoning


1/2 t cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

Add ground beef, onions, and garlic to a large, non-stick skillet or Instant Pot. Season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. If required, drain liquid/fat from skillet and transfer meat mixture to a slow cooker or switch Instant Pot to slow cook mode.

Add all remaining ingredients to slow cooker. Mix well. Cover and cook on low heat setting for about 5 hours. Note: Exact cooking time depends on the size of your slow cooker. The larger the slow cooker, the less time it takes to cook the chili.

Notes

Omit the cayenne pepper for a less spicy chili.

Superstore "Red Brew" works great in this recipe as the beer.
