beef and dark beer chili (http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/237096)
Bon App?tit |
February 2007

Stout makes the beef taste beefier in this chili. For best results, pick out a
five-pound boneless chuck roast and have the butcher grind it for you.

WHAT TO DRINK: Sam Adams Cream Stout has a malty sweetness that's
just right.

Makes 10 to 12 servings.

I wouldn't go so far as gross, but I am definitely a red chili, no beans fan.

Also, I think chili is definitely better if you make it a few days in advance, let it sit in the fridge for a couple of days, and re-heat on the day you serve it. Of course, waiting that long to eat it is nearly impossible :D

That is a recipe, NOT an order. Don't like 'em? Leave 'em out! Want hotter spices? Put 'em in! I never met a recipe that couldn't be 'improved' to fit my personal taste. :)

Chili with beer is the only kind I make any more. Stouts are good, reds are good, hell it's all good.
