  • 1 large green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (14 1/2-oz.) can diced tomatoes with green chiles
  • 1 (12-oz.) bottle beer
  • 1 (8-oz.) can tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 (16-oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 14 (1 1/4-oz.) bags corn chips

How to Make It

Step 1

Cook ground beef and next 5 ingredients in a Dutch oven over medium heat 10 minutes or until meat crumbles and is no longer pink. Stir in diced tomatoes with green chiles and next 9 ingredients, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 1 hour and 45 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes. Add kidney beans and black beans; cover and cook 15 minutes.

Step 2

Cut corn chip bags open at one long side. Spoon 1/2 cup chili on chips in each bag. Garnish, if desired.

Step 3

Note: Chili may be frozen in a zip-top plastic freezer bag up to 3 months. For testing purposes only, we used Fritos Brand Original Corn Chips.

This is the best chili ever! I double the tomato sauce and add a dash of Worchestershire Sauce. I have small kids so I cut the cayenne pepper in half. The frigid and cheese are pure genius!

Great flavor! When you test it, it tastes like it needs more salt. However, it's perfect when topped with cheese, chips, etc. More salt in the recipe, topped with salty items, would make it too salty. Love this recipe.

I love finding new chili recipes and this one was terrific! Very quick and easy to make. Just a note that it was a bit brothy....we liked it like that since we let the fritos soak up the juice...
