Cook time: 1½ hours
Serves: 10

1 pound ground beef
2 29-ounce cans tomato sauce
2 15-ounce cans red kidney beans
1 pound Italian pork sausage, casings removed and chopped
1 pound bratwurst, casings removed and chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 bell peppers, seeded and chopped (Miller uses a mix of green, red and yellow)
3 chili peppers, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons garlic, minced onion powder to taste
chili powder to taste
salt and pepper to taste
2 bottles of Belhaven Scottish Ale or comparable beer

In a large skillet, brown the meat and drain off the grease. In a large stew pot, combine the meat with the remaining ingredients except the beer. Simmer over low heat until chili begins to thicken, about 45 minutes to an hour (adding the juice from the beans will result in a thicker chili). Add the beer and simmer an additional 15–30 minutes. Taste and adjust the spices as necessary.
