Arrogant Bastard Chili

This recipe won my wife's office chili cook-off a couple of years ago. It was a unanimous favorite and in a chili town like Cincinnati, that says something. The recipe calls for Arrogant Bastard Ale but if you can't get your hands on a case of this, Michelob Amber Bock works really well too.

Ingredients:
2 pounds of ground beef
1 yellow onion, diced
3 - 5 garlic cloves, diced
1 28oz. can of Joan of Arc spicy chili beans
1 14oz. can kidney beans
1 28oz. can diced tomatoes
1 14oz. can RoTel tomatoes with green chilies
1 46oz. can tomato juice (use 2/3 of can)
1 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tbsp paprika
1/2 tbsp cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

1. In a large pot or Dutch Oven, brown the ground beef.
2. Add the diced onion, salt, and pepper. Cook until onions are translucent in color.
3. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 4 to 5 hours.
