Here's me about to partake in a delightfully tasty meal.
And here's Mike...completely satisfied after finishing his bowl of chili.
Beef & Beer Chili
Ingredients
Preparation
Combine first 4 ingredients in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. (I just put all the ingredients directly into the crockpot and skipped all this next stuff.) Cook 5 minutes or until beef is browned, stirring to crumble. Stir in chili powder, cumin, sugar, and salt; cook 1 minute. Add oregano and next 4 ingredients (through beer) to pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes. Stir in cornmeal; cook 5 minutes. Stir in juice. My chili was still pretty runny, so I mixed some cornstarch in a cup with the chili broth and then added it to the pot. It thickened instantly. We like it hot, so I added some cayenne, several shots of Tampico hot sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and more salt and pepper.Yield
4 servings (serving size: 1 1/2 cups)

Quesadillas
I sprayed each tortilla with cooking spray, and set them sprayed side down on a baking sheet. I topped half of each tortilla with Monterey Jack cheese, chopped roasted red peppers, and cilantro. I folded each one in half, and put them in the oven at 350 for 5 minutes. Yum!
Troy made us a salad, and we topped it with Cilantro Caesar dressing.

Ok. totally starred this for later. I am not a chili fan but the picture of you double fisting your queso and chili spoon convinced me! LOL.
This looks super tasty!
PS I have that sweater. I wore it Saturday.
I <3 that sweater. I just bought it on Saturday on clearance. So comfy! :) We should wear them on the same day sometime so we look like twins.
I was wondering who Dexter was, but now I see! Dexter is cute!
This sounds like a good recipe. I love Cooking Light.
Dexter is the best cat ever! His favorite place is in the kitchen under my feet while I'm cooking. :)
That's it. I'm buying that cookbook! You get the best stuff from it!
Yum, AND fairly healthy!!!
