BEEF AND BEER CHILI, EASY CROCKPOT RECIPE



Beef and Beer Chili, Easy Crockpot Recipe image

Recipe from the WebMD Weight Loss Clinic. They say "chili is one of America's favorite lunch or dinner entrees -- especially during the winter months. Served with cornbread, it really hits the spot. I happen to be a "hot" spice lightweight, so you'll need to add extra chili powder, cayenne pepper, or jalapeño if you want a hotter chili." I haven't made this but I want it in my cookbook so I'm posting it to share.

Time 8h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 teaspoons canola oil
1 lb beef top round steak, trimmed of fat and cut into 1/4-inch cubes (such as London broil)
1 cup finely chopped onion
2 teaspoons garlic (minced or chopped)
1 teaspoon paprika
2 -3 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano flakes
14 1/2 ounces Mexican-style stewed tomatoes (or similar)
1 cup light beer (non alcoholic beer, beef broth or water can be substituted)
1 -2 teaspoon finely chopped chili pepper, finely chopped (jalapeno chili, halved and seeded (optional)
15 ounces low-sodium kidney beans, drained and rinsed (or pinto beans)
finely minced onion, for serving (optional)
grated reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese (optional) or monterey jack cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large, nonstick frying pan or skillet. Add beef, onion, and garlic, stirring occasionally, until browned (about 3 minutes).
  • Spoon beef mixture into crock pot. Add paprika, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and stewed tomatoes (including liquid), beer, jalapeno if desired, and beans. Stir to combine. Cover and turn crock pot on LOW. Cook 8-10 hours.
  • Sprinkle each serving with minced onion and grated cheese if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beef: Chuck roast or stew meat are the best cuts of beef for chili because they are tough and flavorful and will break down nicely in the slow cooker.
  • Brown the beef before cooking: Browning the beef before adding it to the slow cooker will help to develop its flavor and give the chili a richer color.
  • Use a variety of beans: Different types of beans will add different flavors and textures to the chili. Some popular beans to use include kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices: Chili is a versatile dish that can be customized to your own taste. Try adding different spices, such as cumin, chili powder, and paprika, to taste.
  • Let the chili simmer for a long time: The longer the chili simmers, the more flavorful it will be. Aim to cook the chili for at least 6 hours, or even longer if you have the time.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker chili is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a cold day.
