The ingredients for Delicious Uptown Down-Home Chili are:

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 lb ground sirloin
2 tbsp grill seasoning (recommended: McCormick's Montreal Steak)
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 ribs celery, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 anaheim or poblano pepper, chopped
4 to 6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp cumin
1 bottle imported beer (I usually use Killian's)
1 15-oz can black beans
1 15-oz can crushed tomatoes
1 cup beef stock
2 tbsp thyme leaves (fresh is better, but dried works too)
1 pinch cinnamon (optional)
8 oz smoked gouda

Here is how you make Delicious Uptown Down-Home Chili:

Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and add the meat. Season with grill seasoning, brown and crumble for 3-5 minutes. Drain the grease and set aside.Heat a deep pot over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add chopped onions, celery, peppers, and garlic, and cook for a few minutes until they begin to soften. Add the meat back, season with Worcestershire, chili powder, and cumin. Add beer and reduce by half, about 5 minutes.Add the black beans, tomatoes, stock, and thyme and simmer for about 30 minutes. The longer the better, as with all chili. If you want, add a pinch of cinnamon for depth of flavor (I always find it adds that "little something extra").Top bowls of chili with shredded smoked gouda and serve with crackers or cornbread. Enjoy!Serving Size: Makes about 10-12 one-cup servingsNumber of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SPAULSON10.
