Instructions
In a skillet over medium high heat, cook ground beef. Drain any grease, adding crushed red pepper and dried onion when there is very little pink remaining.
When nearly cooked, add chili beans. Continue to stir and reduce to medium low heat. We tend to like ours thicker, but it's personal preference. Add beer or stock to your taste at this point, to thin it out a little.
While the meat is cooking, shred cheddar and dice green onions for toppings. Top with sour cream, cheese and chips.
Notes
This recipe is easily doubled, so be sure to make a big batch for easy meal prep.
Feel free to add in any extra veggies you need to use up in the fridge, mushrooms work really well!
Use organic, grass fed beef if you can.
Serve to the table with all of your favorite toppings.
