This big-pot chili is loaded with lean ground beef, kidney beans, and tomatoes, then deepened with beer, beef broth, and warm spices for a rich, crowd-pleasing bowl. It’s ideal for game day, casual get-togethers, or make-ahead weeknight dinners since it reheats well and thickens as it sits. For best results, brown the beef and aromatics well for extra flavor, then simmer uncovered until the chili reaches your preferred thickness; adjust heat with extra chili powder and finish with your favorite toppings.
