Submitted by: Peter

Ingredients: 
1 lb ground beef
2 onions, diced
1 green/red pepper, diced
1 (14 ounce) can diced Mexican-style tomatoes.
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
10-15 small green olives with pimentos, cut-up.
2 tablespoons cumin
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1⁄2 teaspoon paprika (smoked if you can find it)
1 (14 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 bottle of beer (I like a to use an Ale beer)
Sour Cream and Cheese (optional)

Directions:
In a medium Dutch oven over medium-high heat add the olive oil.
Add the ground meat and cook, breaking up into pieces, until browned.
Add the onions, bell pepper and jalapeno and cook until softened. Drain excess grease.
Add the diced tomatoes (I like to get the ones already with garlic and seasonings), tomato sauce, cumin, chili powder, salt, cayenne, paprika and beer. Mix to combine.
Add the kidney beans and green olives mix, bring to a simmer.
Cover and cook for 1-2 hours.
Serve with sour cream, shredded cheese.
