It took me a while to think of a cuter name for Beef & Beer Chili. I ended up with just B&B Chili because there’s really no sexy way to name this recipe (if you can think of one let me know lol).
Adding beer to your chili gives it such a unique and delicious flavor. If you’ve never tried it before, you might be hesitant but TRUST ME. You will never go back to regular chili again!

Recipe Notes
If you like really thick chili, skip the water or broth. I like to add a little at the end to reach my desired consistency!
You can use just ground beef if you want to skip the sirloin tips.
For a crockpot, saute the onion and beef then add to the crockpot. Cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours. For a regular pot, cover and simmer on low for at least 1 hour.
