Jen's Robust Triple-Meat Chili brings rich, beef-forward depth with Italian sausage, ground beef, and tender stew meat simmered in dark beer and tomatoes. Hints of cinnamon and a balanced heat from chili powder create a rounded, cozy bowl that’s perfect for game day or a cold-weather dinner. Kidney beans add hearty texture, while a touch of sweetness smooths the spice.

If you prefer a thicker chili, thicken as needed with tomato paste.

If using kidney beans, add them 10 minutes before serving, just long enough to heat through.
