Mince 6 cloves of garlic, removing any sprouts to avoid bitterness.

Chop 3 medium onions finely, aiming for small pieces that will disintegrate in the stew.

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat and sauté the onions until translucent.

Add 3 tablespoons of chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon to the sautéing onions and cook for a minute to release flavors.

Stir in 1 can of tomato paste and crush 2 Chipotle in adobo into the mixture, cooking it out for a bit.

Add 3 lbs of ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon and cooking until no longer raw looking, about 5 minutes.

Once the beef is cooked, add 3 (14.5 oz) cans of diced tomatoes, 1 bottle of beer (or water), and 2 cans of drained beans to the pot.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and let cook for 5 minutes.
