- 1 tablespoon Oil
- 2 lbs Ground Beef
- 1 medium Yellow Onion diced
- 4 Garlic Cloves minced
- 2 cans Tomato Sauce
- 6 ounces Tomato Paste I used the canned version
- 1½ cups Beef Broth
- 2 tablespoons Chili Powder
- 1 tablespoon Cumin
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 cans Pinto Beans drained and rinsed
- 1 can Red Kidney Beans
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/4 cup Bourbon or Whiskey or Beer
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or dutch oven heat the oil over medium heat and add the ground beef, onion, and minced garlic. Cook the mixture until the meat has browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and return to stove.
Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, broth, spices, and beans. Let simmer for 15 minutes, until the sauce begins to thicken. Add the brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce and cook for 5 more minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in bourbon (whiskey or beer will also work too). Top with sour cream or shredded cheese.
