Cooking With Beer – Voodoo Ranger Imperial IPA Fiery Chili

(Image credits: eMeals / New Belgium)

Festive foods take on new meaning when made with serious beer. And who doesn’t like a spicy chile, especially when it’s made with a fiery pepper blend and the right Imperial IPA?

This tasty recipe comes from eMeals, a meal inspiration, planning and shopping platform. And it uses New Belgium’s Voodoo Ranger Imperial IPA, a massive 9% ABV India Pale Ale with a complex hop menu that creates an explosion of fresh-cut pine and citrus flavors.

And the beer (which is widely available) really adds something special to the fiery chili so definitely chase it down.

So let’s do this!

Voodoo Ranger Three-Pepper Rangerous Chili

Ingredients

5 lb boneless chuck roast, trimmed

2 Tbsp vegetable oil

2 cups chopped onion

2 red bell peppers, chopped

2 poblano peppers, seeded and finely chopped

1 (1.25-oz) envelope Tex-Mex chili seasoning

3 Tbsp tomato paste

1 (15-oz) can tomato sauce

2 Tbsp masa harina

1 (8-oz) carton sour cream

Step 1

Cut roast into 1-inch pieces. Brown roast in hot oil, in batches, in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Remove from pot; set aside.
