For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground beef with a tablespoon of olive oil or bacon fat. The beer adds a unique depth of flavor. Experiment with different beer styles to find your favorite. Adjust the amount of jalapenos, hot pepper sauce, and red pepper flakes to control the heat level to your liking. Canned beans can be substituted with an equivalent amount of home-cooked beans for extra flavor. Consider adding a tablespoon of cumin to enhance the flavor.

Aug 11, 2023The two-day refrigeration period is key. The flavors really come together and it's so much better than eating it right away.
