Chili Starter

True to its Texas roots, this vibrantly flavored chili starter is full of the slow-simmered richness that distinguishes traditional San Antonio chili. Ingredients including vine-ripened tomatoes from California; chipotle peppers, ancho chilies and cumin from Mexico; and Texas’ own Lone Star Beer are cooked until their lively flavors meld together in mouthwatering style. The starter couldn’t be easier to use: Just add browned ground or cubed beef (and pinto beans, if desired) for an authentic chili con carne, or substitute ground turkey or vegetables for flavorful variations. 32 oz. (serves six to eight). A Williams-Sonoma exclusive.
