I realize this might not look like chili to you, but this is my new go-to chili recipe.  Maybe it’s because the Husband likes chili or maybe because the girls now eat it too and love the beans, or maybe it’s because it’s so cold here now in WA. .  whatever the reason, we’ve been eating a lot of chili over here.

 

I love how versatile it is (not only with the ingredients but also with how you can eat it) and I always throw as many vegetables in as possible. This used to be my go-to chili__upclose_HipFoodieMom.com

Ingredients

  • about 2 teaspoons olive oil

  • salt and pepper
  • 2 cups onion; chopped
  • 2 cups fresh cremini mushrooms; sliced

  • 1-2 cups carrots; chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano

  • 3/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 12-ounce bottle dark Mexican beer
  • about 2 cups beef broth or stock
  • 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes

    I love chili and I think this recipe falls into that category. Even if purists say it doesn´t it sounds so good! Too bad it´s so hot right now, I can´t even eat this with the a/c on. Maybe I should make it and freeze it, I do have an opened bottle of beer that needs to be used!

    Love it! Lettuce wraps are a definite favourite of mine and a good chilli recipe is like gold, very treasured and very valued! I saw your pics on IG and with the lakes frozen solid like that, I’d be craving hot stews too!

    […] Chili is one of my go-to comfort foods. I always make a big batch of this stuff and love curling up to a big bowl with some crunchy bread. I really loved this chili because it was so simple to make and it’s vegetarian. If you’re a meat eater, like my husband, and need something in your chili, you can try this one. This one is my husband’s favorite. Or if you have any Mexican beer, you have to try this chili recipe. […]
