¼ cup Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
Set the EGG for direct cooking at 350°F. Grill your poblano, tri color and jalapeno peppers on the EGG until nice char marks develop on both sides. Set aside to cool. Heat oil in the Dutch Oven. Add onion and cook until soft. Add bell pepper and cook until tender. Add the garlic and spices and cook for another minute. Add the beer, Worcestershire sauce, chicken broth and the tomato paste. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to 250°F. Now that the peppers have cooled, chop them up and add to the chili. Add beans and continue to simmer for another hour or until the chili has thickened. If you like a soupier chili, add the whole bottle of beer instead of just half. Serves 4 hungry people
