Like I said previously, feel free to substitute ground turkey or extra kidney beans for the ground beef. This recipe comes from "Carole Clements' Cook's Companion".
3 T. veg. oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 lb. ground beef
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 T. light brown sugar
4 T. chili powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp each salt and pepper
1 (5 oz. ) can tomato paste
8 fl. oz. beer (I use Heineken, and I think I use a little more than 8 oz.)
1 (15 oz. ) can of tomato sauce
12 oz. (or whatever the can size is) red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
Sour cream
Grated cheddar cheese
1 cup uncooked rice (recipe originally served with spaghetti, but my husband's a rice guy. Also great over a baked potato!)
1) Heat the oil in a deep saucepan and cook the onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the beef and cook until browned, breaking up the meat with the side of a spoon.
2) Stir in the garlic, brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Add the tomato paste, beer and tomato sauce and stir. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 50 minutes.
3) Stir in kidney beans and simmer 5 more minutes, uncovered.
4) Meanwhile, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, stir, cover, lower heat, and simmer 20 minutes until all water is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Serve chili over rice with sour cream and cheese!
