This recipe is from the book, American Dish by Merrill Shindler. This sounds so good!

Ingredients:

3 lbs flank steaks, cut into small cubes

2 lbs boned chicken parts, especially dark meat

2 lbs smoked link sausage, sliced into small chunks

2 (10 ounce) cans chicken broth

48 ounces canned stewed tomatoes

2 (7 ounce) cans diced green chili peppers

1/4 cup minced garlic

1/2 cup gebhardt® chili powder (or equivalent)

1 (12 ounce) bottle mexican beer

1 lb grated monterey jack cheese

2 cups chopped onions

2 cups chopped green bell peppers

1. Combine all ingredients up to and including the beer in a large pot and cook for 2 hours.
2. Add the onion and peppers, and cook for another 4 hours.
3. Just before serving, add the cheese to thicken mixture (it works far better than you might think).
