Directions

Step 1

Prepare all the ingredients.

Step 2

In a large stock pot over medium-high heat, cook the ground chuck and sausage until evenly browned. Drain off excess grease.

Step 3

Add in the chili beans, spicy chili beans, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste. Stir in celery, onion, bell peppers, chile peppers, bacon bits, bouillon, beer, chili powder, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, cumin, hot pepper sauce, basil, cayenne, paprika, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine, then cover and simmer over low heat for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, and chili powder if needed. The longer the chili simmers, the better it will taste. Remove from heat and serve, or refrigerate and reheat the next day for even more flavor.

Step 5

To serve, ladle hot chili into bowls and top with corn chips and Cheddar cheese. Enjoy!
