Dayna’s Chili

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (or turkey works too, for really special occasions use pulled beef)

• 1 (8 ounce) can mild chili-ready beans

• 1 (8 ounce) can medium chili-ready beans

• 1 (8 ounce) can chili-ready tomatoes

• 1 (8 ounce) can diced tomatoes (like Rotel)

• 1 (12 ounce) can beer (bud light works best)
• Tony Chachere's Seasoning (More Spice)
• chile habanero sauce
• 1 small onion (chopped)
• 1 garlic clove (minced)

Directions

1. 1

   Cook Meat with onion and garlic until brown. Scrape all into a crock pot, or you can use a big pot on the stove. Do not drain!

2. 2

   If using pulled beef you need to bake the roast in the oven and drain the juice into the chili, pull using two forks when cool enough to work with. Using a cooked roast will extend the prep time to at least 1 to 1-1/2 hours.

3. 3

   Add beans and tomatoes and beer.

4. 4

   Sprinkle top with More Spice (cover with light layer) stir in, add 5 drops of the hot sauce (more or less to taste).

5. 5

   Stir and let simmer at least 30 minutes to let flavors blend.

6. 6

   Stir often.

7. 7

   Serve with grated medium sharp cheddar cheese.
