Smoked Chili

Smoked Chili


1. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, pork, and beef. Cook, stirring and breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until meat is browned and no bits of pink remain, about 5 to 6 minutes.

2. Add the onion, fennel, red chile, garlic, chili powder, cumin, fennel seed, cayenne, and tomato paste, and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the sugar, crushed tomatoes and juice, smoked beer, and soaked kidney beans.

3. Bring the chili to a boil, cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer until beans are tender, about 90 minutes. Just before serving, stir in the salt.

4. Serve the chili garnished with sour cream and sliced scallions, and, of course, with a glass of smoked beer.
