Beer Chili Twist
Hearty chili, swapped pork for turkey, replaced white beans with black beans, added a pinch cinnamon. Slow simmer lets flavors meld into thick, saucy richness. A smoky aroma fills the kitchen, aroma sharpens as the beer hits the pan. The meat browns to deep caramel, spices toast releasing a warm earthiness. Subtle bitterness from beer balances the slight sweetness from cinnamon and cocoa powder. Serve over rice or crunchy nachos. Adaptable to what’s on hand. No heavy cream, no dairy. Gluten free naturally. Use ground turkey for lighter, black beans for richer bite. Cinnamon adds subtle warmth without being obvious.
