You can personalize it with your choice of toppings, such as creamy avocado slices, melted cheese, crispy tortilla strips, or a side of soft homemade cornbread. If you're looking to serve a crowd at the Super Bowl, this easy, large-batch dish is sure to satisfy without any complaints.
For best results, use a crockpot to keep the chili at the perfect temperature. Once cooked, transfer the chili to the crockpot and set it to the lowest heat. Place a ladle and bowls nearby for guests to serve themselves, and replace the lid after everyone has helped themselves to keep it warm.

Steps for Preparation
-
Start by heating olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions, bell peppers, and garlic, cooking them while stirring occasionally until they soften, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
-
Add ground beef to the pot and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it turns brown and is no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, chili powder, and cumin, and continue to cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
-
Next, pour in the lager beer, kidney beans, diced tomatoes (with their juices), 2 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Let the mixture simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes until it thickens. Serve with cornbread and your choice of toppings.
