Bring to boil 2 14.9 oz cans Guinness with the following ingredients:

2 tbsp Hungarian paprika (adds smoky flavor)

½ cup chopped red onion

2 tbsp chili powder

2 tbsp chipotle chili powder 1

½ tbsp ground cumin

2 tbsp granulated beef soup base

12 oz tomato paste

2 tbsp lt. brown sugar

*Make sure beef base is completely dissolved

Combine drained beef with the grilled sirloin and the Guinness base with 1 28oz can Fire Roasted Tomatoes Drain and rinse 2 cans black beans and 2 cans of red kidney beans in a strainer. Let dry.

This is the ice ream that that I talked about a few weeks ago....It is very yummy and perfect for this time of the year.

Happy Monday!
