Won't Kill Kelsey Chili

We've been eating awesome chili made by the other VISTA working with me at Habitat, Nicole. She was kind enough to share her recipe with me, for her "Won't Kill Kelsey" chili. (I believe there's a college story attached to the name, but I will protect the innocent...)

1 can black beans
1 can kidney beans
3/4 can refried beans
1 32-oz can of crushed tomatoes
1 bottle of pale ale beer
1 red pepper, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
The following items to taste:
Garlic
Chili powder
Cumin
Salt and pepper
Bbq sauce and/or hot sauce

Saute the peppers, garlic, and onion in a little olive oil. When they are soft, add the tomatoes. Then add the black and kidney beans. Then add the beer. Then the spices. Then add the refried beans to thicken it up.

Serve with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and cornbread!
