Bean & Beer Chili Inspired By Thug Kitchen

• 1 medium onion
• 2 bell peppers
• 1 zucchini
• 2 carrots
• 4 cloves of garlic
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 4 tbs chili powder
• 1.5 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1c beer
• 3 tbs tomato paste
• 28oz can diced tomatoes
• 1c vegetable broth (or water)
• 15oz can pinto beans
• 15oz can kidney beans
• 15oz can black beans
• 1.5c hominy (optional)
• Juice of 1/2 lemon or 1 lime
• 1 jalepeno, diced
• 2lbs ground beef or chicken

1. "Chop up the onion, bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots into pieces no bigger than a motherfucking bean. Dice up the garlic all small and shit. Grab a big ass pot and heat up the olive oil over a medium heat. Add the onions and cook them until they start to look a little brown, about 5-8 minutes. Add the bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, and salt and cook for another minute. By now, your whole place should start smelling good enough to make the fucking neighbors jealous. Add the beer, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and broth then scrap any spice shit that started sticking to the bottom of the pot. Let that all simmer together for 5 minutes. There should be some beer left in the can, sip that shit while you're waiting."
2. "Now add the beans (and the hominy if you opted for this dopeness). Stir everything and turn down the heat to medium low. Slap on a lid and let that simmer for about 30 minutes. Set a timer if your ass is easily distracted like me. After the 30 minutes, stir it around and if you still want a thicker chili take off the lid and let it simmer for another 10-15 minutes. When the chili looks legit by your standards, add the lemon juice then taste that motherfucker. Depending on the brand of tomatoes you got, you might need to add some brown sugar to balance the taste out. Taste again and see if it needs more chili powder or salt. Throw in some cayenne pepper if you like that shit hot. Serve warm and lay out some fresh toppings like red onion, jalapenos, and cilantro."
3. "Makes one big fucking pot, enough to serve 6 people easy"
