- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound beef sirloin, cubed
- 2 (14.5 ounce) cans peeled and diced tomatoes with juice
- 1 (12 fluid ounce) bottle dark beer; Honey Brown, Newcastle, and Nut Brown work really well

- 1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
- 1 cup packed brown sugar

- 3 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans

Instructions
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook onions, garlic, ground beef and cubed sirloin in oil for 10 minutes, or until the meat is well browned and the onions are tender.
- Mix in the diced tomatoes with juice, dark beer, coffee, tomato paste, brown sugar, and beef broth. Season with chili powder, cumin, cocoa powder, oregano, cayenne pepper, coriander and salt. Stir in 2 cans of the beans and hot chile peppers. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.

Notes
- Serve buffet-style with fresh shredded cheese, jalapeno pepper slices, chopped onion, sour cream and hot sauce for topping. Goes great with a nice big salad and some corn bread.
