Servings: persons

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 anaheim chili, chopped
2 red jalapeno chiles, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 1/2 lbs lean ground beef (I used sausage)
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 pinch garlic powder, to taste
2 beef bouillon cubes
12 ounces light beer
28 ounces crushed tomatoes
14 1/2 ounces fire-roasted tomatoes
12 ounces tomato paste
1/2 cup white wine
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon chipotle hot sauce
2 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
32 ounces dark red kidney beans (I rinsed and drained although recipe wasn't specific)
1 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2
Cook and stir onion, bell pepper, Anaheim pepper, jalapeno peppers, and garlic in the hot oil until softened.
3
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add worcestershire sauce and garlic powder.
4
Crumble bouillon cubes over beef and add beer. Continue to cook, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, until liquid is hot, about 3 minutes. Stir beef mixture into pepper mixture.
5
Stir crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and wine to the beef mixture.
6
Season with chili powder, 2 tablespoons cumin, brown sugar, pepper sauce, basil, paprika, oregano, and black pepper.
7
Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until meat and vegetables are very tender and flavors have developed in the chili, about 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
8
Mix kidney beans into beef and vegetables. Continue to simmer until beans are hot, about 30 minutes.
9
Blend sour cream, cilantro, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin in a food processor until smooth. Serve sour cream mixture with chili.
