Directions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add beef and onion and cook until meat is browned all over, about 4 minutes. (It doesn’t need to cook all the way through.)
Drain fat, then stir in tomato paste.
In a large slow cooker, combine beef, onion, kidney beans, crushed tomatoes, beer, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika and cayenne.
Season with salt and pepper. Cook on low for 6 hours and up to 8. (The longer it is in the slow cooker the more flavorful it gets.)
Taste for seasonings. Serve warm with cheese, green onions, or other toppings of choice.
