I have a recipe for chili that I want to try, but it calls for beer. I don't want to put beer/alcohol in the chili. What else could/should I use?
-
You can use water, beef stock... etc.
Not a big deal to not have the beer.
-
Any particular reason you don't want the beer? (I use beer in my chili. And my macaroni and cheese. And I use red wine in some other things. And white wine in some other things. I like cooking with alcohol.)
-
We don't cook with alcohol. I would sub beef stock, like Turtle suggested. I don't think it'll take away from the recipe at all.
-
My chili is very simple. Tomato purée, a little water, ground beef, beans, onion, pepper, diced chiles, garlic and a lot of chili powder. It's delish, if I do say so myself.
-
have you considered a near beer? Clausthaler makes a great one.
-
I fourth (5th?) the beef stock.
-
Beef stock works, and my other suggestion is to just find a different recipe that doesn't call for beer ;)

Hah...the alcohol cooks out anyway...
-
I can't use beer (gluten) so I've used chicken broth in the taco soup recipe I have that calls for beer. Beef broth should do the trick.

Oh yeah, this thread.
I wound up using a different beer-less recipe. The original recipe called for brisket, and when I realized that I needed $40 worth of brisket, I said, screw that. I might cut down the recipe and make half as much some time, with only $20 worth of brisket.
I wanted to avoid the gluten. I read somewhere that you can sub in apple juice... That might be interesting.

there are a few gluten free beers on the market... I have no idea if they would be any good though
