Get ready to experience the bold, smoky flavors of Texas in every bite with this authentic chili recipe. A dish that will not disappoint!
This high-protein and macro-friendly dish is perfect for hefty servings and feeding any large family. It's fantastic for using up those extra bits of precooked burger meat from after the holidays. If you don't have any burger patties left, just add an extra half pound of ground beef or beef tips to make the most of your holiday haul. I love making this chili to help clean out the fridge and use items while they are still fresh from the weekend. It freezes well and is a fun dish to serve while watching your favorite football team in the fall.

Preparation
- Place a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat and add the oil, heating it until it shimmers. Add the meat and sauté until browned, then transfer it to a plate.
- Add the onion to the pot and stir for 1 minute. Take two large sips of the beer, then pour the rest into the pot. Stir in the tomatoes, coffee, and tomato paste.
- Add the brown sugar, chili sauce, cocoa powder, piquillo pepper, cumin, coriander, ancho chili powder, salt, and kidney beans to the pot. Return the meat to the pot and reduce the heat to a low simmer. Cook partially covered for 1 hour.
- Add the white beans to the pot and continue to simmer over very low heat, partially covered and stirring occasionally, for another 1 to 2 hours. (The longer it cooks, the better the flavor.) Adjust the salt and ancho chili powder to taste, then serve.
