Easy Dutch Oven Chili
Easy Dutch Oven Chili
I make this recipe for my kids about once a week. Beer is the secret ingredient. You can easily control the heat by altering the amount of chili powder and the Tabasco sauce. It should be a crime to serve this recipe without cornbread.

Prep time
30 min
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds hamburger
- 1 16-ounce can pinto beans
- 1 16-ounce can black beans
- 1 16-ounce can kidney beans
- 1 16-ounce can chili beans
- 1 16-ounce can tomato sauce
- 3 cloves crushed garlic
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- Tabasco sauce to taste
- ½ bottle beer (my favorite is Gordon Biersch Märzen)
Preparation
Heat a Dutch oven over low heat.
Begin browning hamburger. When the meat is cooked through, drain the fat and add the beans, tomato sauce, garlic, beer, chili powder and Tabasco sauce to the pot.
Simmer over low heat for 30 minutes.
Note: This recipe is somewhat acidic, and could ruin the season on your Dutch oven. Consider using a Dutch oven with an enamel interior. Le Creuset makes the best ones, but they can be pricey.
