2 cups (473 ml) yellow onions chopped
1 1/2 tsp salt and pepper
4 cloves garlic
2 tbsp (30 ml) fresh oregano
1/3 cup (79 ml) chili powder
2 tbsp (30 ml) ground cumin
1 tbsp (15 ml) coriander
3/4 tsp cayenne
2 lbs (907 g) lean ground beef
2 cans (30 ounce) kidney beans
1 can (28 ounce) fire roasted diced tomatoes
4 tbsp (60 ml) tomato paste

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large pot.
Add the onions and season with ½ teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and oregano and cook for 1 more minute.
Add chili powder, cumin, coriander, and cayenne, and stir for about 1 minute.
Add the ground beef and another ½ teaspoon salt and pepper. Break the meat into small pieces with a spatula, and cook for 8 minutes, or until meat is no longer pink.
Stir in the kidney beans, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste, and bring to a simmer.
Mix in the stout beer, molasses, brown sugar, and final ½ teaspoon salt and pepper and return to a simmer.
Serve with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, cilantro, sour cream, and jalapenos.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use a high-quality, dark stout beer.
If you prefer a less spicy chili, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper.
Leftover chili can be frozen for up to 3 months; allow to thaw completely before reheating.
