1 lb. ground beef
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 tsp. grill seasoning (I use Montreal steak seasoning)
Worcestershire sauce
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 jalapeno, minced or processed
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 (12 oz.) can beer (your choice - I usually use Alaskan Amber)
1/2 cup beef stock or broth
1 (15 oz.) can pinto beans
1 (28 oz.) can crushed tomatoes
salt and pepper, to taste

Brown beef in a large pot. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent. Mix in grill seasoning and a few shakes of Worcestershire, let cook for a minute. Then add green pepper, garlic, jalapeno, and cumin. Let cook together for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, and then deglaze pan with about a quarter of your beer (drink the rest, you deserve it!)

Let most of the beer cook off, and then add stock, beans and tomatoes. Cover and let simmer for as much time as possible, stirring occasionally. Remove lid and cook off excess liquid prior to serving. I have served this without simmering it for more than just a few minutes and it was still very tasty, so don't be too worried about that!

We love our chili with cinnamon rolls, you should try it sometime! (I promise it's less weird than it sounds).
