Another cold night special!

2 tablespoons canola oil

2 pounds ground beef

1 onion, chopped

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 jalapeno, chopped

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 cup beer

1 (29 ounce) can diced tomatoes with their juice

1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans

In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil.  Add the ground beef and cook until brown, continually stirring to break into small pieces.  Add onion and garlic and jalapeno and continue to sauté.  Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to a simmer and continue cooking for about 1 hour.  This can be a meal by itself with some cornbread, rice and salad or served as a topping for hot dogs.
