Cornbeef......place the cornbeef in a baking dish and fill dish half way with beer. Follow directions on cooking times. It's very good this way.

Always do chili, beef stew, corned beef with beer-also beer can chicken.

i just posted a beer bread thing on the bread post. this is my first time looking at the cooking section and i didn't scroll down. my bad

you could also cook sausages in beer. you boil them up in beer and then you fry them in a skillet. i always like to add beer to my chili recipes.

I always use double or triple amounts....."one for the recipe...one for the chef....one for the recipe....two for the chef........."
Speaking of cooking with beer....I made Chili last week, and used 2 bottles of beer in it (made a huge pot for dinner but also for freezing).
It was the first time ever, that I've tried it with beer...because my buddy from TN told me to.
Let me tell you...besides using ground chuck (market grinds), different beans, crushed and tomato sauce and the beer...it was the most PERFECT and yummy Chili I have made....EVER!!!!!!
