~*~*~ Good Day for Chili ~*~*~

I don't know about ya'll but I'm in the mood for chili.  Something about this rainy, cold weather makes you crave comfort foods.  So bring out the dutch oven and get cooking.

Ingredients:
2 pounds ground chuck
medium onion, chopped 
2 (15-ounce) cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained
3 (8-ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (12-ounce) bottle of beer
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can beef broth
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 to 2 teaspoons ground red pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
Directions:
Cook first 2 ingredients in a Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring until meat crumbles and is no longer pink. Drain well.  Combine meat mixture, beans and remaining ingredients in Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 3 hours or until thickened. Garnish, if desired.
