Slow Cooker Italian Beer & Beef Chili made with lean ground beef, Italian beer, peppers and fire roasted tomatoes will definitely send you back for seconds.
Chili, like this Slow Cooker Italian Beer & Beef version is a hearty meal to make for any occasion as it is high in fiber, filling and goes a long way.
I chose to make this version using Italian beer as the base; as well as extra lean ground beef (90/10), but you can also substitute ground turkey or chicken in it's place.
How do you make Italian Beer and Beef Chili?
Start by browning the ground beef in a large skillet; then add chopped onions, peppers and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables start to soften; then add the mixture to your slow cooker.
Next, add kidney beans, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin and Italian beer. Mix well and cook on low 6-8 hours or high 4-6 hours.
The Italian beer with the addition of fire roasted tomatoes gave this Slow Cooker Italian Beer & Beef Chili a wonderful flavor.
It's also a great dish to serve when having guests as it can keep warm in the slow cooker so they can help themselves. Serve it 'as-is', over rice or egg noodles or use it top hot dogs, burgers or nachos. ~Enjoy!
