Based on the original recipe from World of Warcraft, the Official Cookbook
Ingredients
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 jalapeño, minced
2 thai chili or serrano peppers
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 canned chipotle pepper, diced
½ onion, diced
1 lb ground beef
1 lb Chorizo sausage
1 lb chuck steak or roast, cubed
2 Tbsp ground cumin
3 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ground coriander
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1-6 oz tomato paste
1-12 oz. bottle of beer
2 cans of chili beans (1 pinto, 1 black, rinsed and drained)
2 cups beef stock/broth
2 cans diced fire-roasted tomatoes
salt to taste
sour cream, cheese, scallions and cilantro for garnishing
Optional: masa harina for thickening, hot sauce, 1 cup frozen corn, and ½ cup hatch chilis
Directions
Add the oil to a large stockpot over medium heat. Add the peppers, onions and garlic until soft. Add the meats – ground beef, sausage, and chuck, stirring until all the meat is browned, 5 to 10 mins.
Add all the spices, followed by the tomato paste and stir. Pour in the beer, stock, beans and tomatoes. Stir to combine. Lower the heat and cook for approximately 2 hours. The chili should have thickened while cooking; add masa paste (masa harina and water) a tablespoon at a time for desired consistency.
Serve in bowls and top with onions, cilantro, cheese and a small dollop of sour cream.
