Beef & Beer Chilli

This was so delicious and, aside from the beer, very healthy. I added extra vegetables, and actually used 16oz of beer because I was making extra..well, and because I like beer! I used Guinness because I just thought a dark beer would pair really nicely and it did. As I was chowing down, I was thinking too that red wine would probably be good as well.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 1/2 cups)
Ingredients

* 1 chopped red onion
* 2 chopped bell peppers
* 8 ounces extra lean ground beef
* 3 garlic cloves, minced
* 1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
* 2 teaspoons ground cumin
* 1 teaspoon sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
* 1 (19-ounce) can red kidney beans, drained
* 1 (14.5-ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
* 1 (14-ounce) can low-sodium beef broth
* 1 (12-ounce) bottle beer (such as Guinness)
* 1 tablespoon yellow cornmeal
* 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Preparation

Combine first 4 ingredients in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. 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.
