Mix together all ingredients listed above. Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 months.
Dice your Onions, Bell Peppers, Zucchini, Carrots, and Mushrooms. Mince your Garlic
In a large fry pan brown your ground beef with 2 TBSP of the Spice Blend and drain.
While your beef is browning, in a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat your oil over medium heat until it begins to ripple. Add in your Onions and cook until they start to brown or become translucent (depending on the onion you chose) - approximately 6 or 7 minutes.
Add in your Peppers, Zucchini, Carrots, and Mushrooms. Cook for another 5 minutes
Add in your garlic, 1/3 cup of the Spice Blend, and salt. Stir and continue to cook for a minute or two.
Now add in your Crushed and Diced Tomatoes, Tomato Paste, Mustard, Stock, and Beer. Stir until everything is well mixed. Don't forget to scrape the bottom of the pot! Let cook for about 5 minutes
By now your Beef should be browned. Add in your beef, beans, and corn then stir to mix well. Turn heat to low-medium, cover, and let simmer for 30-40 minutes. Simmer longer if you want a thicker Chili
Once simmered to your liking add in your lemon juice. Taste your Chili and add in any additional spices like Cayenne Pepper if you want more heat or salt if the Chili needs it.
Remove from heat and Serve. Garnish each serving with Jalapeno RIngs, Sour Cream, Shredded Cheese, and Cilantro
If you want to add a little extra flavor to your Chili, bake your beans and corn on a parchment lined baking sheet at 450 degrees for about 10-15 minutes before adding to your Chili!
