Game-Day Chili 
2 lb. ground chuck 
1 medium onion, chopped 
3-4 garlic cloves, minced 
2 (15-oz.) cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained 
3 (8-oz.) cans tomato sauce 
1 (12-oz.) bottle dark beer 
1 (14-1/2 oz.) can beef broth 
1 (6-oz.) can tomato paste 
1 (4-1/2 oz.) can chopped green chiles 
2 Tbl. chili powder 
1 Tbl. Worcestershire sauce 
2 tsp. ground cumin 
1-2 tsp. ground red pepper 
1 tsp. paprika 
1 tsp. hot sauce 
Garnish: pickled jalapeno pepper slices 
Cook first 3 ingredients in a Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring until meat crumbles and is no longer pink. Drain well. 
Combine meat mixture, beans, and next 11 ingredients in Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 3 hours or until thickened. Garnish, if desired. 
Yield: 13 cups 
Note: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale was used for testing purposes (so much for the dark beer...)
