I thought this was just great! I love that there are no refined sugars, but the chili is so sweet! I used a pale ale, not a light beer and that added a great flavor. This was very easy as well so I'll be making this again. Thanks!

Very enjoyable. We're not sure we would call this a chili, though, as the beans were kind of lost in this. Maybe if the beans were doubled? I made a half-recipe for 3 of us, and we didn't have a lot of leftovers at all, so not sure this makes 12 servings. Maybe 12 cups? (I didn't measure.) I did reduce the chili powder by a bit, because I was afraid of it being too spicy for the family, but it turned out not to be spicy at all, so next time I will make it as written exactly. We served with homemade foccacia bread and it was an enjoyable supper. Thanks!
