Yield: 4 Servings
 
Ingredients
  1/2  lb Suet or  
  1/2  c Oil, cooking  
  1  lb Beef round, coarse grind  
  1  lb Beef chuck, coarse grind  
  1  cn Tomato sauce (8 oz ea)  
  1  cn Beer (12 oz ea)  
  1/4  c Red chili, hot, ground  
  2   Garlic cloves, finely chopped  
  1   Onion, small, finely chopped  
  1 1/4  ts Oregano, dried, pref. Mexican

    Cayenne pepper  
  3/4  lb Monterey Jack cheese, grated  
 
Instructions
 
  1. Melt the suet or heat the oil in a heavy 3-quart (or larger) pot over medium-high heat. Remove the unrendered suet and add the meat to the pot. Break up any lumps with a fork and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is evenly browned.

 
  2. Add the tomato sauce, beer, ground chili, garlic, onion, oregano, paprika, 1 teaspoon of the cumin, and the salt. Stir to blend. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour. Stir occasionally.

 
  3. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding the cayenne pepper. Simmer, uncovered, 1 hour longer.

 
  4. Stir in the cheese and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of the cumin. Simmer 1/2 hour longer, stirring often to keep the cheese from burning.
