Chorizo, Hatch Chile and Smoked Porter Chili

Fall brings a lot of things besides pumpkin lattes and football games, and an excuse to make a huge pot of chili is a great one. A slow-simmered chili is a beautiful bowl of comfort food, especially when beer is involved. The best thing about this chili is that it’s actually better made a few days ahead; the flavors have a chance to blend and deepen. Don’t be afraid to make this when you get a chance, and then warm it when it’s ready to serve. It also freezes well, so don’t be scared to make a double batch. A freezer-friendly, make-ahead meal that’s a big bowl of feel-good food? Fall can’t get here soon enough.
