For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with plant-based crumbles or an equivalent amount of diced vegetables like zucchini and mushrooms. Adjust the heat level by increasing or decreasing the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your preference. Serve hot, garnished with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, or oyster crackers. It's also delicious over pasta or rice.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
12 mins
In a large stockpot set over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes; drain off any excess fat. Add the diced green bell peppers and sweet onion to the pot and sauté until softened, approximately 5-10 minutes.
02
Step
2 mins
Pour in the tomato juice, then stir in the mild chili beans, hot chili beans, dark beer, chili powder, garlic salt, white vinegar, ground allspice, red pepper flakes, and bay leaves. Ensure all ingredients are well combined.
03
Step
2 hrs
Cover the stockpot and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the chili for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen. For an even richer taste, simmer for longer, up to 3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
