Steps

  1. Using a food processor, grind the leftover hamburger patties into a coarse powder.
  2. In a bowl, mix the ground hamburgers with the cumin, chili powder, and salt. Set aside. Don't bother cleaning the food processor after grinding the meat.
  3. Add the sweet chiles to the food processor one-by-one, and grind until they're reduced to small bits.
  4. Add the chipotles along with the adobo sauce, grinding until the chipotles are thoroughly integrated into the sauce. You can leave this in the food processor or move it to a bowl.
  5. Heat a stockpot over medium heat and add the oil.
  6. Swirl the oil in the pan to coat, and turn the heat down to medium-low.
  7. Sauté the onions and garlic until soft and golden.
  8. By now the onions should be pretty well cooked down. Turn the heat up to medium and stir continuously.
  9. The onions may start to brown and stick to the bottom of the stockpot. Add half the beer to deglaze the pan.
  10. Add the ground meat and spices, tomato products, beans, chile paste, and remainder of the beer, stirring after each addition to combine.
  11. When the pot comes to a boil, turn the heat down to low and cover.
  12. Simmer for at least half an hour.
  13. Serve in bowls, either plain or with accompaniments suggested above.
