Guinness Chili
Guinness beer chili is a super comforting recipe that will warm you up and keep you satisfied!
We love this easy chili recipe for two reasons. It's a simple recipe that is ready quick, and it's made with beer for a unique flavor you just can't beat. Guinness chili is filled with hearty ingredients and bold flavors and is perfect for a casual dinner or a large party!
This is a very simple recipe for chili; all the magic happens in the simmering! Create a hearty, complex, flavor with such spices as cumin, cinnamon, and chili powder. Bring a little sweetness to the mix with brown sugar. Beans, ground beef, and of course, Guinness are added for protein and even more flavor!
Top your bowls with shredded cheese, green onion and sour cream to complete your meal.

Cooking with Guinness - Tips from an Expert
Cooking with Guinness is a tasty way to work your favorite brew into amazing dishes! It makes an awesome substitute for any recipe that calls for beer and can even replace soy sauce. Check out this quote from Guinness Executive Chef, Justin O'Connor
When you cook a Guinness, the alcohol tones down to a sweet sugar, but then you have the bitterness of the hops, so it's a sweet and sharp balance. The best of both worlds, but not too overpowering. When you're cooking with any other beer, the lingering taste just doesn't last with an ale. But Guinness gives it that body. Toward the end of cooking, I add a little bit and it just brings everything back to life.
