Just double checked this recipe and it does have beer in it….well I don’t drink beer and doubt you can just buy one can !!! Any ideas for a substitution ? My Son-in-law is a Pastor and he would not eat it if he knew it had beer in it….. even tho they say the alcohol is cooked out, I still doubt he would eat it….. I have tasted it when my husband would drink one, but I think it taste terrible…..but heard it is good in cooking…..never used it tho in any cooking I have done…. so just omit it or add something else ???? I will wait for your answer….lol
P.S. Just want to tell you my Son-in-law just won a Brand New Ford, from a Ford Dealer…..what good news that was…..they are so thankful …..so thank God for letting him win this car….:)
You can often buy single bottles of beer now at stores. I know of several stores around here that have coolers of single bottles now. I hate the taste of beer, but the stew is rich and yummy :) I’ve read that you can use ginger ale as a beer substitution in cooking, but I have never tried it. I think I would simply just omit it in this case.
How wonderful about the truck!! What a blessing :D
This sounds wonderful! I have never tried hot paprika before. I will have to pick some up.
This stew looks delicious but is there a replacement ingredient for the beer?
I love making stews like this at this time of year. So comforting!
I just bought cubed beef today but I’m not sure what to make with it. I can’t make up my mind! Maybe I’ll try your recipe out. It looks delicious!
I am definitely loving this recipe! I love cooking with alcohol whether it’s wine, beer, hard cider or guinness! I can just imagine dipping some freshly baked bread into this stew!
Such a delicious stew for this time of year! I am not a beer drinker, but definitely love the flavor it gives to winter soups and stews. Yum!
I like using a good stout beer in hearty stews, it adds another dimension of flavor. It’s getting to be that time of year again!
I usually use normal paprika but only because didn’t know about hot paprika! This is the kind of stew I love to have in the evening, nothing better than a comforting stew after a long day at work!
I love stews during the colder months! So easy to make, and so satisfying and warming. This recipe looks great and I just pinned it!
This looks yummy! The beer is such a unique twist!
