Categories: Beef, Herbs, Beer, Chilies
Yield: 14 servings

1 Whole garlic bulb
2 tb Olive oil; divided
2 Dried ancho chilies
2 Dried chipotle chilies
12 oz Dark beer
3 lb Beef stew meat; in 3/4"
- pieces
2 lg Onions; chopped

43 1/2 oz (3 cans) diced tomatoes;

16 oz Tomato sauce
2 tb Worcestershire sauce
1 tb Chilli spice mix
1 ts Pepper
1/2 ts Salt

MMMMM---------------------OPTIONAL TOPPINGS--------------------------
Shredded cheddar cheese
Sliced jalapeno pepperS;
Seeded

Set oven @ 425ºF/218ºC.

Remove papery outer skin from garlic bulb, but do not
peel or separate the cloves. Cut off top of garlic bulb,
exposing individual cloves. Brush cut cloves with 1
teaspoon oil. Wrap in foil. Bake until cloves are soft,
30-35 minutes. Unwrap and cool slightly. Squeeze garlic
from skins; mash with a fork.

Meanwhile, in a large dry skillet over medium-high heat,
toast chiles on both sides until puffy, 3-6 minutes. (Do
not blacken.) Cool. Remove stems and seeds; coarsely
chop chilies. Place in a small bowl; cover with beer. Let
stand until softened, about 30 minutes.

In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over
medium-high heat. Brown beef in batches, adding
additional oil if needed; transfer to a 6-qt. slow
cooker. In the skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium
heat. Add onions; cook and stir until tender. Add to
beef.

Stir in the remaining ingredients, mashed garlic and
dried chilies mixture. Cover and cook on low 7-9 hours or
until meat is tender. If desired, serve with cheese and
jalapenos.

UDD NOTES: Lose the kidley beenz in favour of a 48 oz
can og Brooks Chilli Hot beans; unrinsed. Or 4 16 oz
cans of Bush's Chilli Beans. Up the chilli sppice mix to
one TB per poun d of meat. And consider making the diced
tomatoes w/green chilies. Some cumin (1 tb or more) would
not go amiss.
