Guinness Foreign Extra Stout Beer adds a nice undertone. I know. It can be hard to sacrifice a bottle of Guinness. But trust me, the additional layer of flavor is worth it! This is my favorite style of chili and I believe it was the best Chili with the addition of Guinness Beer. Sometimes it can be difficult to locate Foreign Extra Stout. In those cases I use Guinness Extra Stout or whatever type of Guinness available. If needed you can substitute a can of Beef Broth.

Guinness Chili Appetizer

Guinness Chili makes a wonderful appetizer by reducing the liquids resulting in a thicker chili. The below Chili is perfect thickness for an appetizer making it easy to scoop with tortilla chips. It makes a wonderful appetizer for game day! If your chili comes out too thick, just add another can of tomatoes!

Preparing the Guinness Chili

  1. Simmer Veggies: In a large soup pot, heat a tablespoon of Olive Oil to simmer the diced onions and chopped green peppers.
  2. Cook the Meat: At the same time cook the ground turkey or ground beef in another pan with Olive Oil. Add the cooked meat to the soup pot.
  3. Chili Sauce: Stir in the Chili Sauce, powder, spices, and puree tomatoes. The chili has a beautiful, rich appearance.
  4. Beans: Drain, rinse and add the beans.
  5. Add Guinness: Pour in the beautiful, dark Guinness Extra Stout!
  6. Simmer: Let simmer for for 2 or more hours!
  7. Cornbread: Make your cornbread and prepare any other toppings such as shredded cheese and sour cream.
  8. Store: Guinness Chili gets better every day. I prefer to make it one day before serving. Place cooked chili in an air proof container storing in the refrigerator.

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Large soup pot
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Fine

Ingredients

Ingredients Step 1

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 3 pounds Ground Turkey

Ingredients Step 2

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Sweet Onion chopped
  • 1 cup Green Pepper diced
  • 1 tbsp Garlic minced

Ingredients Step 3

  • 2 oz Chili Powder or more to your taste
  • 1 tbsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 tbsp Oregano
  • 2 tsp Salt

Ingredients Step 4

  • 2 Guinness Foreign Extra Stout or Beef stock (22-ounces)
  • 24 ounces Chili Sauce medium or hotter
  • 1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce reduced sodium
  • 1 Crushed Puree Tomatoes 28 ounces

Ingredients Step 5

  • 1 Dark Red Kidney Beans 15.5 oz drained and rinsed
  • 1 Cannellini Beans 15.5 oz drained and rinsed
  • 1 Red Chili Beans 16 oz drained and rinsed

Optional Toppings

  • Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • Cornbread
  • Tortilla Chips
  • Sour Cream
  • Fresh Chives

Instructions

Preparation Step 1

  • Cover the bottom of a large skillet with olive oil and heat. Add ground turkey; cook for about 10-minutes, stirring occasionally.

Preparation Step 2

  • While the turkey is cooking, cover the bottom of a large soup pot with olive oil and heat. Add chopped onions and green peppers. Simmer while ground turkey is cooking. Add the garlic just before adding the turkey and cook for a few minutes. Strain the cooked Ground Turkey and add to the soup pot and stir. If using Ground Beef, rinsed the cooked Ground Beef to remove excess fat.

Preparation Step 3

  • Add ingredients from step 3. I like to stir the spices and chili powder into the turkey mixture before adding any liquids. That way the cooked turkey is evenly coated.

Preparation Step 4

  • Add ingredients from step 4 including the Guinness Stout! I like to incorporate each ingredient into the turkey mixture before adding the next ingredient. Simmer for an hour to blend the flavors.

Preparation Step 5

  • Add your beans and simmer for another 30-minutes.

Preparation Serve

  • Serve with sharp cheddar cheese and cornbread. You can serve the toppings in separate bowls so everyone can prepare their own bowl of chili. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
