German Oktoberfest Chili: A delicious twist on a classic dish, featuring bratwurst, sauerkraut, German beer, chili beans, peppers, and spices.
Ingredients:
  • 2.5 pounds fresh bratwurst links, cut into 1-inch slices
  • 2 tablespoons bacon drippings, divided
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups sauerkraut, drained
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans red beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans petite diced tomatoes
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
  • 2 (12 fluid ounce) cans tomato juice
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle German-style beer
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 0.25 cup chili powder
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 2.5 ounces milk chocolate candy
Instructions:
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the bratwurst in 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings, stirring occasionally until no longer pink inside, about 15 minutes. Remove excess grease before serving.
  • In a large, deep pot over medium heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings. Sauté the onion, green and jalapeno peppers, and garlic until the onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the bratwurst, sauerkraut, red beans, petite diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato juice, beer, salt, black pepper, cumin, chili powder, sugar, garlic powder, paprika, allspice, and oregano to the pot with the vegetables. Stir to combine.
  • Bring the chili to a boil, then lower the heat, and add the milk chocolate, stirring until melted and dissolved. Simmer for 5 hours, stirring occasionally.
