Preparation Instructions

Heat oil in a big sauce pan or a Dutch oven over medium heat; add onion. Reduce heat to low, and cook the onion for 10 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add bell pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Add chipotle peppers and garlic, cook for one minute. Add beef and the next 5 ingredients (chili powder, sea salt, cumin, ground pepper, basil). Stir in beer and simmer for about 2 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and the next 4 ingredients (tomatoes, tomato paste, broth, bay leaf). Bring to a low boil and reduce heat to medium to medium low. Simmer, uncovered, for 30-40 minutes. Add beans, stir, and continue to simmer until liquid has reduced slightly and the chili has become thicker. (After adding beans, I usually simmer for another 30-45 minutes.)

Serve with Fritos, sour cream and lots of hot sauce!
