Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, Anaheim pepper, jalapeños, and garlic; cook and stir until softened.
  3. 3 Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. 4 Add Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder; crumble bouillon cubes over beef. Add beer; continue to cook , scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, until liquid is hot, about 3 minutes.
  5. 5 Stir beef mixture into pepper mixture.

  7. 7 Bring chili to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover the pot; simmer until meat and vegetables are very tender and flavors have developed, about 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. 8 Stir kidney beans into chili; simmer until beans are hot, about 30 minutes more.
  9. 9 Blend sour cream, cilantro, and remaining ½ teaspoon cumin in a food processor until smooth; serve with chili.
