1/2 cup beer
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp of minced garlic
1 tbsp dried oregano
2 tsp of ground cumin
2 tsp of hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco™)
1 tsp of dried basil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp of ground black pepper
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp white sugar
1 (10.5 oz) bag corn chips such as Fritos®
1 (8 oz) package shredded Cheddar cheese
Directions:
Heat a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add and crumble ground chuck and sausage into the hot pan, and cook until evenly browned. Drain off excess grease.
Add and pour in chili beans, spicy chili beans, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste. Add the onion, celery, green and red bell peppers, chile peppers, bacon bits, bouillon, and beer, and then season with chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, oregano, cumin, hot pepper sauce, basil, salt, pepper, cayenne, paprika, and sugar. Add and stir to blend, then cover and simmer over low heat for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
After 2 hours, taste and adjust salt, pepper, and chili powder if necessary. The longer the chili simmers, the better it will taste. Take away from heat and serve, or refrigerate, and serve the next day.
To serve, ladle into bowls, and add corn chips and shredded Cheddar cheese on top.
