1/3 cup chili powder

Place the ground beef, onions, serrano pepper and garlic in a large pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring to crumble the beef, until the beef is no longer pink and the onion is tender. Drain off the fat and return the pan to the stove. Combine the chili powder, cumin, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper and sprinkle over the beef mixture.

 

Pour in the tomatoes, green chilies, tomato sauce and beer. Bring to a boil and stir to loosen any bits that are stuck to the bottom of the pan. Mix in the brown sugar and hot pepper. 

 

Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 3 hours. Remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking. 

 

Serve with sour cream and shredded cheese.
