Steps:

1. Combine anchos and 1½ cups water in bowl and microwave until softened, about 3 minutes. Drain and discard liquid. Process anchos, tomatoes and their juice, remaining 2 cups water, tortilla chips, chipotle, and adobo sauce in blender until smooth, about 1 minute; set aside.
2. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add beef, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper and cook, breaking up pieces with spoon, until all liquid has evaporated and meat begins to sizzle, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain in colander; set aside.
3. Heat remaining 4 teaspoons oil in now-empty Dutch oven over medium-high heat until simmering. Add onions and jalapeños and seeds and cook until onions are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano, coriander, sugar, and cayenne and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in beer and bring to simmer. Stir in beans, reserved ancho-tomato mixture, and reserved cooked beef and bring to simmer. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 50 to 60 minutes. Season with salt to taste. Serve.

Tips:

Choose the right type of chili peppers: For a milder chili, use poblano or Anaheim peppers. For a spicier chili, use serrano or habanero peppers. You can also use a combination of peppers to achieve the desired heat level.
Brown the meat well: Browning the meat adds flavor and helps to remove excess fat. Be sure to brown the meat in batches so that it doesn't steam.
Use a variety of beans: Different beans offer different flavors and textures to chili. Some popular choices include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and Great Northern beans.
Add vegetables for extra flavor and nutrition: Common vegetables used in chili include onions, bell peppers, carrots, and corn. You can also add other vegetables, such as zucchini, squash, or sweet potatoes.
Season the chili well: Chili is a flavorful dish, so don't be afraid to use a variety of spices and seasonings. Some common choices include chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic powder.
Let the chili simmer for a while: Simmering the chili allows the flavors to meld together and develop. The longer you simmer the chili, the better it will taste.

Five-alarm chili is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its bold flavors and spicy kick, this chili is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give five-alarm chili a try.
