Chili is one of those dishes that I adore. You add all these ingredients into a single pot, simmer for a while and something truly magical happens. The flavor of the chili transcends its humble, individual ingredients. This is a recipe I have developed over the years. It's a bit unusual, in that, in the beginning it's a bit soupy. I like to add a lot of very flavorful liquid early on and let them reduce and thicken as the chili simmers away. I think it makes a lot more sense than thinning a chili with water ( not
any flavor ) at the end. Don't be afraid to use the coffee it you happen to be one of those people who don't like coffee. There's absolutely no coffee flavor in the chili. Btw there's no taste of beer in the end product either. I guess its part of that magic thing that happens with chili. You can adjust the heat in the chili by adding more or less jalapenos. As written, this has just a wee bit of heat to my taste. I am kind of wimpy though to be honest. This chili will make a perfect game day meal. I hope you give it a try. Enjoy!
This recipe is at my new site. Hope to see you there :) I've posted a lot of new things.

I've never made chili with beer before, but it is definitely on my list of things to make. Your picture looks gorgeous. I smiled when I saw all the minced red onion (that is one of my favorite toppings for chili).
