Steps:
- In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the ground meat. Cook and stir occasionally until browned all over and you can hear a slight crackling in the pan, letting you know the moisture has cooked away, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic, onions and half of the scallions and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Make a space in the pan and drop in the tomato paste. Let toast for 1 minute and then stir into the meat. Sprinkle on the chile powder. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Pour in the beer and cook until almost reduced away, about 4 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes and stock and season with the red and green hot sauce. Adjust the heat so the chili is gently simmering and cook, uncovered, until the chili is thick, dark red and flavorful, about 1 1/2 hours. Serve in bowls with the remaining scallions and suggested toppings.
BIG GAME DAY CHILI
The first time I tried this chili I was floored! It has wonderful flavors, and is very spicy and very addictive. If you don't like heat, adjust the ingredients. It's perfect at a football tailgate party or picnic. If you like a roasted flavor, bake the garlic before pressing it. For the beer, a hoppy pale ale works well, as does a dark stout. I've also experimented with adding a cup of coffee to the mix to give it a roasted coffee flavor. It also freezes well.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the chili will be. Look for fresh, flavorful vegetables, high-quality ground beef, and flavorful spices.
- Brown the beef well: Browning the beef gives it a richer flavor and helps to develop the chili's overall flavor. Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the beef, or it will steam instead of brown.
- Use a variety of beans: Different beans add different flavors and textures to chili. Try using a combination of kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans.
- Add vegetables to your chili: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to chili. Try adding chopped onions, bell peppers, carrots, and corn.
- Season the chili well: Chili is a flavorful dish, so don't be afraid to season it well. Use a combination of chili powder, cumin, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Let the chili simmer: Simmering the chili allows the flavors to meld and develop. Let the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes, or even longer if you have time.
- Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: Chili is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of toppings. Try serving it with shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, or avocado.
