Gather

1 pound lean ground beef (I used 90% ground sirloin) 1 Tbsp. oil 1 medium onion, diced 1 sweet bell pepper, diced (red, yellow or orange) 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped 1 7 ounce can mild diced green chilies or 1 cup roasted Hatch green chilies, diced 1 12 ounce can or bottle of beer (lager, pilsner or pale ale) 1 to 2 tsp. cumin 1 tsp. coriander 1 ½ to 2 Tbsp. chili powder ¼ tsp. chipotle chili powder (I use this instead of black pepper) 1 ½ tsp. salt 1 14 ounce can of diced tomatoes 1 8 ounce can of tomato sauce 2 cups low sodium chicken stock 1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed

Step by step

1. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over high heat. Add the oil and the ground beef to the hot pot allowing the meat to brown and caramelize slightly before stirring.
2. When meat has finished browning, remove it with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate. The paper towel will absorb any excess grease and oil.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Sautee the onion, bell and jalapeno peppers till soft, stirring frequently (about 5 minutes). Add garlic and diced green chilies. Stir to combine and cook for another minute.
4. Add the seasonings to the vegetables. Stir and cook for another minute.
5. Add the meat back to the pot. Stir to combine and raise heat to medium high. Cook for another minute or two.
6. Add the beer to deglaze the pot. Coo****il the liquid is reduced by about half (about 5 minutes).
7. Add the beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce and stock. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 20 minutes stirring occasionally.
8. After 20 minutes remove lid and continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes.
9. Serve with grated cheese, sour cream, diced avocado and corn bread.
