Lowfat Crockpot Man Chili
This is great dish before the big game!

Serves 4

Ingredients

Qty Unit Ingredient
1 1/4 lb Beef chuck - boneless, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1/3 C Water
2 Onions - red, chopped
2 Portobello mushrooms - fresh, stems discarded and diced
2 Carrots - large, diced
3 Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 C Beer - dark
1/4 C Tomato paste
1 Chipotle en adobo, seeded and chopped finely
3 Tb Honey
3 Tb Chili powder
2 Tsp Cumin, ground
3/4 Tsp Oregano, dried
1 Tb Cornmeal
1/4 C Sour cream - light


Instructions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown half of the beef, and transfer to a 6 quart slow cooker. Repeat. Add water to the skillet, bringing to a boil. Stir constantly to loosen the browned bits from the bottom. Transfer to slow cooker, along with onion, mushrooms, carrots, garlic, beer, tomato paste, chipotle, honey, chili powder, cumin, and oregano; mix well. Cover, cooking on low 8 to 10 hours or high 4 to 5 hours, until beef and vegetables are tender. Twenty minutes before the cooking time is up, stir cornmeal into the pot slowly until blended. Cover, and cook on high until thickened, about 15 minutes. Serve with sour cream.
