Ingredients:

450 g

Ground Beef

1 tbsp

Ground Cumin

3 tsps

Chili Powder

1

Salt

3 cloves

Garlic (minced)

1 cup

Beef Stock

1 tbsp

Brown Sugar

Directions:

1

Let's make the kids' version first

2

In a large pot, brown the ground beef all over, until no longer pink

3

If you need to drain the fat, go right ahead! Add the cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder and a good pinch of salt

4

Saute for a minute or so

5

Add the garlic, onion and bell pepper

6

Saute until the veggies soften and the garlic is fragrant, another couple of minutes

7

Add the beans, diced tomatoes and tomato sauce

8

Stir to combine and let simmer for 10 minutes

9

Taste it

10

The kids will dig that, right? Ladle out about a cup for each of your littles

11

Top each bowl with shredded Cheddar and serve cornbread on the side! Now let's finish this out for the adults

12

To the pot, add the beer, beef stock, jalapeno, brown sugar and the remaining 2 teaspoons chili powder

13

It will feel pretty soupy at this point, but let it simmer for another 20 minutes or so, stirring once in a while

14

Taste it one more time for any seasoning adjustments

15

Maybe a little salt? Lime juice? Go for it

16

Serve it with shredded cheese, sliced jalapeno, sour cream and torn cilantro sprigs
