Recipe View 2 mins After 2 hours, taste the chili and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or chili powder to achieve your desired level of flavor and spice. Ladle the chili into bowls and top with baked tortilla chips just before serving. Consider offering additional toppings like diced red onion, fresh cilantro, or diced avocado for a customizable experience.

For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef and sausage with plant-based alternatives or an additional can of beans.
Feel free to experiment with different types of beer to add unique flavor notes to your chili. A dark ale or stout can provide a deeper, more complex taste.
If you prefer a thicker chili, you can mash some of the beans with a fork before adding them to the pot.
Chili is even better the next day! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
