- 3 cans (14.5 oz/412 mL each) no-salt-added stewed tomatoes
- 1 can (15 oz/426 mL) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 bottle (12 oz/341 mL) dark stout beer

- 1/2 cup (125 mL) finely chopped red onion

Directions
- Heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) canola oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, brown beef, about 3-4 minutes per batch, stirring frequently.
- Meanwhile, in a sauté pan heat remaining 1 tbsp (15 mL) canola oil and cook bell peppers and onions 4 minutes or until onions are soft, stirring frequently. Stir into cooked beef. Add stewed tomatoes, beans, beer, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and bouillon. Bring just to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes.

Cook’s note: Like most chili recipes, the flavours are more blended if the chili is served the next day. This dish freezes well, too.
