Redskins Tailgate Chili


Found this while looking for food ideas to cheer on the the washington redskins!! This is a very good chili - didn't use the hot sauce to make it more kid friendly and it was perfect!

Steps


The night before:.
Start out by removing the skin from the italian sausage.
In a large skillet , begin to brown the sausage and ground beef.
Drain the meats once browned.
Remove from skillet and place in a large pot.
In the skillet , brown the onion , pepper and mushrooms.
Add garlic for the last two minutes.
Transfer the mixture to the large pot.
Add whole tomatoes and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Be sure to break the tomatoes up well.
Stir in chili powder , oregano , parsley , and the hot sauce.
Remove from the heat and refrigerate overnight after cooling.
Gameday:.
Light the burner and sit the pot of goodness over the heat.
Add the kidney beans in and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium and begin to simmer the chili.
Now add the tomato paste and the dark beer.
I use newcastle , but guinness , and becks dark are both great in this recipe as well.
Simmer uncovered until the mixture reduces to desired thickness.
If it stays uncovered for an extended perio.
