• 1/2 pound hot breakfast sausage
• 3 tablespoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground cayenne
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup lower-sodium tomato sauce
• 1 cup dark beer

1. Add first three chili powders (through ancho chili powder) to a medium skillet. Toast over medium heat until fragrant, stirring constantly, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove powders from pan, and reserve.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 6-quart pot. Add beef to pan, and cook, in batches, until browned on each side. Remove and reserve. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and onion; cook until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and serrano chiles, and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add breakfast sausage, breaking up with a spoon, and cook until brown, about 3 minutes.
3. Return beef to pan, and stir in toasted spices. Cover with 6 to 8 cups warm water. Allow chili to come to a gentle simmer; cover, and simmer slowly 1 1/2 hours.
4. In a small skillet, toast cumin, cayenne, onion powder, and garlic powder over medium-low heat until fragrant, stirring constantly, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add spices to pan; stir in tomato sauce, beer, and salt.
5. Return chili to a slow simmer and cook, uncovered, 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
6. Add all ingredients for finishing spice mixture to a small skillet. Toast over medium-low heat until fragrant, stirring constantly, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add to chili, and cook 30 minutes. Serve warm, over rice, garnished as desired.
