oktoberfest chili
  • 2 1/2 pounds fresh bratwurst links, cut into 1-inch slices
  • 2 tablespoons bacon drippings, divided
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups sauerkraut, drained
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans red beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans petite diced tomatoes
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
  • 2 (12 fluid ounce) cans tomato juice
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle German-style beer
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1/4 cup chili powder
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 1/2 ounces milk chocolate candy


  1. Place the bratwurst into a large skillet with 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings over medium heat; cook and stir the bratwurst until the pieces are browned and no longer pink inside, about 15 minutes. Drain excess grease.
  2. Place remaining 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings in a large, deep pot over medium heat, and cook and stir the onion, green and jalapeno peppers, and garlic until the onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Place the bratwurst into the pot with the vegetables, and stir in the sauerkraut, red beans, petite diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato juice, beer, salt, black pepper, cumin, chili powder, sugar, garlic powder, paprika, allspice, and oregano.
  3. Bring the chili to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and stir in the milk chocolate until melted and dissolved. Simmer for 5 hours, stirring occasionally.
