We Eat crock pot beer chili
there is nothing more that I love about fall than warm soup on a cool evening. well, this weekend we had a taste of cool weather (82 degrees!!!) and I was excited to whip out my favorite recipe for beer chili, dump it all in the crock pot after getting home from church and lounge the afternoon away while watching Sunday's football lineup.
best part is that this recipe is HA-UGE and we had dinner for Monday night, too:)
I'm a big fan of chicken sausage, and if you happen to go back through my recipes you'll see that its basically the only kind of sausage I'll buy. my local specialty grocery store (market street) makes their sausage in house and it is YUMMY. I made a stop through their after church (because the weather made me do it) and they had this chipotle chicken sausage- yes! its like they knew I was coming!! I bought six links because I was being overzealous and prefer this to ground beef..so.. this chili ended up quite meaty!
all the veggies! smelled like a great big bowl of fresh pico de gallo. again- being overzealous with the garlic. I freaking love garlic. so I always add much more than a recipe calls for, even if it does suck to mince garlic. nothing more tedious that mincing garlic, but its worth it.
so worth it..
da beer.
I used a pale ale called revolver which is made by the same company that makes blood and honey (which is my faaaav right now). just before I added the beer I stirred in the seasonings and veggies- which included a dry packet of spicy ranch dressing. I didn't have onion powder, as called for in the original recipe, but I had that hanging out on my shelf.. so I figured it might only make it better?
it did.
top it with lots of cheese, sour cream, and more peppers!

we loved this with broccoli cornbread- I've been making it for years from my mother in law's recipe and I did a quick search on pinterest and found the exact ingredients HERE! its so delicious, my friends:)
