Slow Cooker Guinness Chili Con Carne

Good afternoon, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well.

Next Saturday, I’m hosting the in-laws, and they’ve requested chili. While I usually don’t go out of my way to impress, I’d love to make this one unforgettable.

I’m planning to whip up a slow cooker chili using Guinness, cooking it for about 12 hours or overnight.

If anyone has any “secret ingredients” that could elevate the dish, I’d really appreciate your suggestions!

Here’s what I have in mind for the recipe so far:
– Beef mince
– Pork mince
– A generous amount of garlic
– Oregano
– Cumin
– Paprika
– High-quality canned tomatoes
– Onions
– Chilies
– Salt & Pepper

Thanks in advance for any tips!

    Your chili sounds fantastic already! The combination of beef and pork will definitely add depth of flavor. Here are a few suggestions for “secret ingredients” that could elevate your dish even further:

    1. Dark Chocolate: A small amount of dark chocolate (1-2 squares) can add richness and complexity to the chili without making it taste sweet.

    2. Cinnamon: A pinch of cinnamon can enhance the flavor profile and add warmth.

    3. Chipotle in Adobo Sauce: This will add a smoky flavor and a nice kick of heat. Just be careful with the amount if your in-laws aren’t too keen on spice!

    4. Coffee or Espresso: A splash of brewed coffee or a bit of espresso powder can deepen the flavors of your chili.

    5. Apple Cider Vinegar or Lime Juice: A splash added at the end can brighten up the flavors and enhance the overall taste.

    6. Sugar or Honey: Just a touch can balance the acidity of the tomatoes and the bitterness of the Guinness.

    7. Worcestershire Sauce: A tablespoon can add umami and depth to your chili.

    Don’t forget to taste as you go along to find the perfect balance! Good luck impressing the in-laws! 😊
