Ingredients:

• 1 onion, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 6 slices of bacon, chopped
• 2 pounds of ground beef
• 1 bottle of beer (Grolsh beer recommended, but any beer will do)
• 1 can of ale
• 1 can of white beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can of kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 tablespoon of ground cumin
• 2 cups of tomato sauce
• 1 tablespoon of chili powder
• 2 teaspoons of dried basil
• 1 cup of water

Instructions:

1. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onions, green bell peppers, and chopped bacon until the onions start to turn golden brown and the bacon is crisp, about 5-7 minutes.

2. Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Transfer the sautéed mixture into a 5-quart slow cooker. Add in the ground beef, beer, ale, white beans, black beans, kidney beans, ground cumin, tomato sauce, chili powder, dried basil, and water.

3. Mix Well: Stir all the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring that the spices are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

4. Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on high heat for 5 hours, allowing all the flavors to meld together beautifully.

5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the chili is cooked to perfection, serve it hot, garnished with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, or chopped cilantro. Pair it with a side of cornbread or tortilla chips for a complete meal experience.

6. Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or frozen for longer preservation. Simply reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop for a quick and satisfying meal.
