Recipe #9: Drunk and Lazy Chili

Last winter we brewed a smoked porter that so smoky we couldn't drink it.  Fortunately, we found some great ways to cook with it!  This is a lazy chili because there is little chopping, a lot of cans and only one pot.  The porter adds a great depth to what otherwise might be a pretty typical veggie chili.        
1 can black beans
1 can kidney beans
1 can pinto beans
1 can corn
3 cans chili ready chopped tomatoes
1 teaspoon each:
                cumin
                chili powder
                Sriarcha hot sauce (optional)
                garlic powder
1/2 c. (4 oz) smoked porter (Stone Smoked Porter would be perfect)
10 oz of veggie sausage style crumbles (or microwave patties and break up into small pieces) 
1 red onion diced
Sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 Tablespoons nutritional yeast- optional 

Rinse and drain beans and corn.  Put all ingredients except porter into crock pot and stir well.  Add porter very slowly while stirring so it doesn't get too foamy.  Cover and cook on low for 3- 5 hours, stirring occasionally during cook time.  Stir one more time before serving and adjust seasonings.  Top with cilantro and serve with corn bread or chips if desired.
