How To Make tommy's chili

  • Step 1
    Brown your hamburger meat it a large pot in the olive oil. Drain any fat away, if you use really lean meat you don't have to drain at all.
  • Step 2
    Add the entire chopped onion, the garlic and half of the bunch of cilantro, and the lime juice, cook until the onion is done.
  • Step 3
    Add beer, the entire cans of tomatoes, one cans of green chilies, all the remaining spices and bring to a boil.
  • Step 4
    Add both cans of beans and bring to a simmer. After simmering for 15 minutes, add sugar and salt to taste. I usually do not have to add salt and very little sugar, just enough to counter the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Step 5
    Serve with cubes of cheese, cilantro and extra green chilies.
