• 2 large bell peppers, diced
• 3 tablespoons chili powder, divided
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder, divided
• 1 teaspoon basil
• 3 (14 1/2 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes

1. Place beef, onions and bell peppers in large Dutch oven.
2. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, and basil.
3. Using a wooden spoon, blend together and brown very slowly.
4. You may drain if desired, but mine didn't have a lot of grease, so I didn't bother.
5. Place tomatoes in food processor and process just long enough to cup up large pieces.
6. Put tomatoes, beans and beer in with meat and bring to a low simmer.
7. Add remaining chili and garlic powder.
8. Add pepper.
9. Cook slowly for at least 2 hours.
10. Serve with cheese and onion.
