I've never cooked with beer

I just closed my eyes and emptied a can into a pot of chili. Someone please tell me it isn't going to taste like it smells!

1. Depends on the beer, but I love to add it to chili.

I made some braised chicken last night with a bottle of Dos Equus Amber and it was fantastic.

Hope it comes out great!

2. Just hafta' cook it long enough to cook off the alcohol. I use it in my chili

and have added it to guacamole to good effect. Better beer tastes better.

3. I've used it in

bread and batter for fried shrimp. I don't like to drink it, never have enjoyed the taste of it, but it does add to the flavor of dishes.

Enjoy your chili! :hi:

11. I haven't used it in bread but once...

Edited on Thu Feb-10-11 08:30 PM by hippywife

several years ago and it was a recipe a friend gave me. Not even sure where it's at anymore, or I would definitely share it with you, but I can tell you there are lots of beer bread recipes on the net.

Welcome to C&B! :hi:

12. I have a beer bread recipe.

Remind me tomorrow and I'll scan it if you want from my 1979 personal recipe notes.

Basically:

3 cups self rising flour
2 TBLS Sugar
1 can Beer

Mix in a bowl and bake in a greased bread pan at 400 degrees for 45 minutes.

It is a very dense bread, but tasty! Makes a good shortbread if you add more sugar.

:hi:

4. what kind of beer?

i think a nice stout would add some good depth of flavor.

5. Oh, I've used beer in chili

and it's yummy.

I've also have a crepe recipe that calls for a can of beer. Best crepes ever!

6. I've used beer as the liquid for cooking pot roast in the cast iron dutch oven

and the taste was great. It adds a lot of flavor, but it doesn't taste like beer after it cooks.

8. Update

Chili turned out crappy (for me).
It was...shall we say...WARM!
BUT, family loved it....but I could still smell the beer.
Wasn't crazy about that.

Thanks for all the input!

9. I've put it in beef stews and used it in breads and

it would be just fine in chili.
