๐Ÿ•’ Cook Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
๐Ÿ•’ Prep Time: 1 hour
๐Ÿ•’ Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 onions
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 3 slices bacon
  • 3/4 cup stout beer
  • 6 tablespoons blackstrap molasses
  • 12 oz. grilled meat (such as beef or pork), cut into bite-size chunks
  • 4 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 4 cups tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 green bell pepper
  • 1/2 red bell pepper
  • 3 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
  • 1 cup masa harina flour
  • 1 can (15 oz.) dark red kidney beans

Instructions:

  1. Fry Bacon: Start by frying the bacon in a large pot until itโ€™s nice and crispy. Once done, remove the bacon from the pot and set it aside. Donโ€™t forget to reserve the grease!

  2. Sautรฉ Vegetables: In the same pot with the bacon grease, sautรฉ the onions, bell peppers, and half of the minced garlic until theyโ€™re tender and aromatic.

  3. Grill and Cut Meat: While the vegetables are cooking, grill the meat to your desired level of doneness, aiming for rare to medium-rare. Once grilled, cut the meat into bite-size chunks.

  4. Prepare Chili Base: Pour the stout beer and whiskey into the large pot with the sautรฉed vegetables. Turn the heat to medium-high and add in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, jalapeno, 3/4 of the cumin, Worcestershire sauce, kidney beans, crushed red pepper flakes, and Tabasco sauce. Let the mixture come to a boil.

  5. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the chili simmer for about an hour, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

  6. Final Touches: After an hour of simmering, add the remaining cumin to the pot and continue to cook for an additional 10-15 minutes on medium-high heat. Stir constantly during this time to ensure all the flavors meld together beautifully.

  7. Thicken Chili: In a small bowl, mix masa harina flour with a bit of water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the chili to thicken it to your desired consistency.

  8. Serve: Once the chili is thickened and heated through, itโ€™s ready to serve! Ladle it into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, or sliced green onions.

  9. Enjoy: Dive into this delicious BlackStrap Stout Chili and savor every spoonful of its rich, smoky, and slightly sweet flavors. Itโ€™s guaranteed to warm you up from the inside out and leave you feeling fully satisfied.

  10. Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or frozen for longer-term storage. Simply reheat on the stove or in the microwave for a quick and comforting meal whenever you need it.
