Mine was pretty jazzy. Low key and filled with just the right amount of relaxation, when I wasn’t in the kitchen testing out recipes to share with you guys. 😉

Aaaaand it finally snowed here ❄!!

I was definitely jumping around like a little kid in a candy store.

And I might have stuck my tongue out, trying to catch all the little flurries the sky had to offer. Short Rib Chili with Chocolate Stout - Slow Cooker-6-3If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you also know I have a bit of exciting news to share… I finally made my in-print, magazine debut.

I have been impatiently awaiting the arrival of the Low Sugar Living, Spring 2016 magazine in my mailbox so I could share this moment in time with you guys, and the day has finally come. Woot woot!

I am thrilled to be featured in such a delicious magazine and the NSN McDonald’s Buffalo Chicken Nuggets they chose to share are one of Boy’s favorite recipes.

Ever.

Here is to hoping this isn’t my one and only appearance in a magazine. (<– Fingers and toes crossed. Breathe being held)Tex_Mex_Short_Rib_Chili_with_Chocolate_StoutAnyways, I’ll stop patting myself on the back now and get down to deliciousness. Chili.

Slow Cooker Tex-Mex Short Rib Chili with Chocolate Stout

Spoiler alert- if you like beans if your chili, this chili isn’t for you, my friend.

This is the type of stick to your ribs, bodaciously beefy chili that makes Boy’s heart go pitter patter.

He is a beef only, chili purist. And he gave this chili rave reviews.

Which was expected, because I made this chili specifically for him… and for all the “beef. it’s what’s for dinner” readers out there. Short Rib Chili with Chocolate Stout - Slow Cooker-42Short Rib Chili with Chocolate Stout - Slow Cooker-76Aside from being magnificently meaty with chunks of tender, juicy and succulent boneless beef short rib, this chili is smoky, slightly spicy, and fabulously flavorful.

The overall chili liquid isn’t too thick or too thin, it is velvety smooth with a hint of tortilla-y corn flavor, thanks to the addition of masa harina.

The chocolate stout adds a certain je-ne-sais-quoi to the chili. It isn’t over powering, but it definitely adds a little somethin’-somethin’.

While all the toppings are optional, they give the chili a tantalizing Tex-Mex flavor… and if you ask me they shouldn’t really be optional.

I mean, what normal person doesn’t want to load their chili up with more flavor. And tons of cheese??

Exactly.Short Rib Chili with Chocolate Stout - Slow Cooker-79Short Rib Chili with Chocolate Stout - Slow Cooker-59This chili is pretty easy to throw together, thanks to the trusty slow cooker. But, this isn’t dump it and go, stupid easy. Waiiiiit, don’t run away. Hear me out!

You have to brown the cubes of short ribs first, transfer them to the slow cooker, then sauté the onions, garlic, and deglaze the pan.

It is one small step, but the amount and depth of flavor it adds to the chili is unreal. It is worth the 5 minutes.

Trust me.Short Rib Chili with Chocolate Stout - Slow Cooker-98So if outrageously delicious chili is your jam, then this short rib chili with chocolate stout needs to happen in your kitchen. Immediately. Until Thursday friends, Cheers- to drinking your beer and eating it too. 🍻

    Do you think I could add *some kind* of beans to this and still have it be this incredible?? I want to enter this into our family chili competition but still appeal to the bean lovers…

    If so, what kind?! I’m thinking garbonzos sautéed with garlic and added in?!

    Any advice is appreciated!!

      Hi Shannon,
      To be completely honest, I have only tested and made this recipe according to the instructions.
      However, if I was going to add beans, I’d probably opt for black beans to stay with the Southwestern/ Tex-Mex flavors. I’m not sure how much beans you are planning to add, but you may need to add more stock or broth to the chili.
      If you are nervous, I’d consider making a test batch to ensure you knock it out of the park and win that competition!!! Good luck!

    The only snow I get to see is if we take the dogs up on Mt Laguna to go hiking and it was there this past weekend. It’s an easy hour outside of San Diego and one of my favorite places to hike. The dogs love the snow and I love this short rib chili. It’s a beauty! Congrats again on the magazine spread… well deserved friend!

He would go to town in this beefy manly man chili, and so would I! I like the way you think when it came to flavoring…CHOCOLATE stout…such a great choice. Congratulations on your magazine feature!

    Did you say snow? I assume that was the Canadian snow you asked me to send you. I’ve sent 85 centimeters of it (Because, first of all, I’m a super generous guy, especially when it comes to snow, and secondly, it was supposed to melt away a bit while travelling). Also, I’ve sent a shovel. Just for any case. Now don’t hesitate and send something back, preferably something edible:) Great hearty meal, by the way!

    Firstly, many congrats on your magazine feature and it will most definitely not be your last. Secondly, you don’t know snow. Thirdly, I love beer in and with my chili so love this recipe (especially since you used a chocolate stout. YUM!!). Fourthly, I prefer my chili without beans so Boy is my new foodie BFF.

    Congratulations on the magazine article! That’s wonderful!
    This chili looks amazing. I like chocolate in my chili anyway, but chocolate stout? That sounds even better! I could go for a huge bowl of this right now, and I would definitely load mine up with tons of cheese and avocado slices. 🙂

      Couldn’t agree more! If chili doesn’t warm up the body and soul, I don’t know what does! Cheers, Jennifer! 🙂

    Congrats on that magazine article — that’s amazing and so very exciting! This chili is also exciting to me because I LOVE short ribs. I’ve never used them in chili before and that has to be the best idea right along with adding that chocolate stout!

    First of all, congratulations on the magazine debut! I already told you on instagram, but I think that is totally bodacious (<—ps I had to use that as soon as I saw it in your opener). And I am loving this chili! I am a no beans in my chili type as well, so I can appreciate this. It looks aaaaamazing! Pinning!

    I am A-OK without beans in my chili, particularly when it is FULL of beef like this one! And beer. The only time I drink beer is when I’m eating it 🙂 And of course, a big YES to all of the toppings – and then some! In fact, I can’t usually see the chili underneath the toppings 🙂 Can’t help but go overboard.
    Excited for you to have a little snow (we just got flurries) and super duper over-the-top excited for your magazine debut!! That’s so great!! I hope you had a big celebration! XO

      I am not a huge beer drinker either, Kathryn… but I am all for eating it! And I definitely load mine up on the toppings! If I actually topped this chili like I do if I’m eating it, you wouldn’t have been able to see the chili… or the bowl! 🙂 Thank you so much for the sweet comment! Cheers, my dear! xo

    Congratulations on the magazine feature, Cheyanne – I’m so excited for you! It’s so great to see you being recognized for all your hard work – you deserve it! And I hope the snow is just enough to get that winter feeling but not too much so it becomes a drag!

    We got a little snow over here too, but not as much as you guys. Wait until February for more dramatic winter weather because that’s when we usually get hit here in NC. And girl, you know I’m all about eating and drinking my beer and this chili is totally my jam! Beans or no beans makes no difference to me so long as you are adding some delicious craft brew. I LOVE that you went with our friends over at Highland. You can’t go wrong with one of their beers. Congrats again on the magazine feature! You totally deserve it! Cheers, friend! XO

    It’s in the negative temps here right now, and I’m not loving that at all! But I do love using my slow cooker, so this short rib chili looks delicious! I love that you used a chocolate stout, so creative! And the spices sound just perfect. I could definitely devour several bowls of this goodness. Pinned!

    It actually snowed here at the weekend too and in the UK that is a big deal! It lasted about 12 hours though and now it is all gone. But, we did have a nice comforting chilli to help with the cold.
    I love that you have added chocolate stout to yours. Yum!
