Source: Chef John / Food Wishes

Servings: 6 portions

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 diced onion
• 2 pounds ground beef
• 2 tsp salt, plus more to taste
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3 tbsp ancho chile powder, or to taste (I like ancho, but any high-quality ground chili pepper will work)
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (12-oz) bottle of beer
• 1 cup tomato puree or crushed tomatoes
• 2 cups water (or beef broth), or as needed
• 2/3 cup diced green pepper (I used poblano, but a combo of jalapeno and green bell works great too)
• 2 (12 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed well
