    Recipe



    Spray large saucepan with cooking spray; heat over medium heat
    until hot. Add ground beef, onions, bell pepper, and garlic;
    cook over medium heat until meat is brown and vegetables are
    tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Add chili powder, cumin, oregano,
    and cloves; cook 1 to 2 minutes longer.

    Add tomatoes and liquid, tomato paste, beer, brown sugar, and
    cocoa to beef mixture. Heat to boiling; reduce heat and simmer,
    covered, 1 hour. Stir in beans and simmer, uncovered, to thicken,
    if desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

    Spoon chili into bowls; sprinkle each with equal
    amounts of cheese, green onions, and sour cream.
