Cook first 3 ingredients in a Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring until meat crumbles and is no longer pink. Drain well.

Combine meat mixture, beans, and next 11 ingredients in Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 3 hours or until thickened. I included a pic of the beer I used - Red Hoptober Fall Seasonal Blend from New Belgium Brewing (truly because I had some hanging out in my fridge already).

Garnish, if desired.  I like sharp cheddar cheese, jalapenos and Frito Lays on my chili.
