Steps

1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary.
2. Add the minced onions and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
3. Stir in the drained pork and beans, kidney beans, stewed tomatoes, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper. Pour in the beer and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
4. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let the chili simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. While the chili is simmering, cook the rice according to package directions. Fluff with a fork once done.
6. To serve, spoon the cooked rice into bowls and ladle the chili over the top. Garnish with torn cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
7. Enjoy your Hearty Campfire Beef Chili with Beer and Beans, and adjust the heat with additional cayenne pepper or hot sauce if desired.
