3. Next, add all seasoning and tomato paste. Combine well ensuring everything is mixed in. Doesn’t that smell so good?!
4. Now add beer, vegetable broth, crushed tomatoes, and black beans.
5. Stir to evenly distribute all flavors, cover, and simmer for 20-30 minutes.
6. Serve with grilled cheese sandwiches or cornbread. Garnish chili with sour cream, chopped cilantro, shredded colby jack cheese, and diced avocados.
7. Enjoy!
