Guinness Beef Chili is a hearty flavorful chili with plenty of spice and Guinness beer! It's made in 30 minutes for a quick and easy St. Patrick's Day dinner!
Plain Greek yogurt or sour cream and chopped green onionfor serving (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add the onions and saute 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and spices and cook 30 seconds. Add the ground beef, breaking it up into small chunks and stir until it's coated with the spice mixture. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
Add the Guinness, crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, beans, and maple syrup, along with some salt and pepper, to taste, and stir until combined. Simmer for about 15 minutes longer.
Remove from heat and add salt and pepper, to taste. Serve with the Greek yogurt and green onion, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
I always use lean grass-fed ground beef, which results in less fat. If you prefer ground beef that isn't lean, you may want to degrease the pan before adding the remaining ingredients once the meat has cooked.
The chili can be made in advance and stored in the fridge, and is also freezer friendly!
