How To Make donna's chili

  • Step 1
    Dice the beef chuck and brown in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large dutch oven. Brown in several batches so as to not over crowd the pot, adding oil as necessary.
  • Step 2
    Add the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, espresso powder and ground cinnamon and stir to mix well.
  • Step 3
    Add the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, beer and roasted Hatch chili, mixing well.
  • Step 4
    Add the drained and rinsed beans.
  • Step 5
    Bring to boil, reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook until meat is very tender. 3-4 hours.
  • Step 6
    I like to serve topped with grated cheddar cheese and yogurt (or sour cream)....either Fritos on top or underneath.
