Рецепт Beef and Guinness Chili with Jalapeño Cheddar Corn Muffins
Beef and Guinness Chili with Jalapeño Cheddar Corn Muffins
When all the leftover Thanksgiving turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie are gone, I’m always in the mood to get back to the basics. The cold snap in Atlanta during Thanksgiving week got me to thinking about a big pot of chili. Several months ago, I posted a healthy but delicious turkey chili recipe but this week I was craving a hearty beef chili with some spice.
Many chili recipes call for ground beef, but for this post I was shooting for more of a chunky version. I started with a three pound chuck roast, cutting it into 1/2 inch cubes. Chipotle and poblano peppers and Guinness Extra Stout Beer gave the chili the chunkiness and body that I was wanting.
Of course, nothing suits a big bowl of chili like cornbread. When you grow up in the South cornbread becomes a part of your genetic makeup. Pure, unadulterated cornbread was a staple on our Southern table, but as I’ve gotten older, I enjoy experimenting with variations using different ingredients. I featured my most recent variation in the post for Sliders with Smoked Chicken and Cheddar Sun-Dried Tomato Cornbread.
Serving this chili with my version of jalapeño cheddar corn muffins was a no-brainer and on a cold fall night, we had an awesome, back-to-basics, chili dinner.
