    • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    • 1/2 habanero chile, seeded and very finely chopped
    • 1/4 cup chile powder
    • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
    • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 2 (28-ounce) cans whole tomatoes, coarsely chopped with their juices

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, add beef and cook until no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; drain in a colander, discarding fat, and set aside.
  2. Add remaining tablespoon olive oil to skillet and reduce heat to medium. Add onions, garlic, and habanero; season with salt. Cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a 6-quart Crock-Pot, combine beef, onion mixture, chile powder, oregano, cumin, and cayenne pepper; stir to combine. Add tomatoes, cilantro, and beer; cover and cook on high, stirring occasionally, for 5 hours.
  4. Add kidney beans and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, uncovered, until thickened, about 30 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and serve with desired toppings.
