Red Bean Chili

This chili was good. It had a lot of flavor, but I think there is still room for improvement. Serving it with the red onion garnish was a good idea. It added some nice crunch. I didn't let is simmer for 2 hours (was like 1.25 hrs) and I didn't have carrots or corn, so I left those out. You could probably sub beef broth for the beer if you prefer. I've kept a bottle of dark lager beer in the cupboard for a while since I see it every now and then in recipes. Like this one.
