Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb. ground beef
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
  • 3/4 cup Pale Ale (I use Tuckerman Pale Ale)
  • 1/2 cup Pepper Jack cheese (shredded)
  • 16 oz Velveeta cheese (cubed)
  • 1 14.5 oz. can Rotel Tomatoes (partially drained)
  • 1 cup black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1/4 cup red onion (finely diced)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

Directions

  1. 1

    Cook and crumble the ground beef over medium-high heat in a large, high-walled skillet. Drain any grease once cooked through.

  2. 2

    Add in the crushed red pepper flakes, salt/pepper, and beer. Let the beer reduce for about 4-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Reduce heat to medium-low. Add in the cheese and let it melt, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Once the cheese is melted, stir in the beans, red onions, and cilantro.

  5. 5

    Add the tomatoes. You may also add some of the juice if you prefer a thinner consistency.

  6. 6

    Let it continue to heat through for about 5 minutes, then serve!
