• Place meat and any accumulated juices back in the Dutch oven, pour in sauce, and stir well. Cover with a sheet of aluminum foil, then place lid on top for a tight seal.
• Bake on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 1 hour; stir. Continue to bake, stirring every 15 minutes, until meat is fork-tender, 30 minutes to 1 hour more, adding more beer if sauce seems too thick.

CAMPFIRE DUTCH OVEN CHILI AND CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Add the salsa, tomatoes, hatch chiles, beans, corn, chili powder and 1 1/4 cups water to a pre-seasoned 5-quart cast-iron Dutch oven and stir to combine. Prepare the corn muffin mix with the egg and milk according to package directions and spoon in dollops on top of the bean mixture. Cover with the lid and be careful not swing the pot too much when transferring it to the fire to keep the batter on top (it will sink a bit though).
• Prepare a campfire or charcoal grill for cooking at medium-high heat (you'll know it's ready when you can hold your hand about 2 inches above the fire or grates for only 2 to 3 seconds). Arrange the coals so there is a hole in the center large enough to hold the Dutch oven without it touching any coals directly. Place the Dutch oven in the hole. With grilling tongs or a shovel, place a few coals on the lid of the Dutch oven. Cook for 20 minutes, rotating the pot occasionally. Remove the coals from the lid and take the Dutch oven off the fire. Let sit, covered, for 15 minutes before serving with desired toppings.

LISA'S DUTCH OVEN CHILI

Steps:

• 1. Turn heat to medium-high; add 2 T olive oil to the Dutch oven; add beef. Brown beef; season with salt and pepper. After the meat is brown, turn off heat and carefully remove meat with a slotted spoon or spider to a bowl; empty grease from Dutch oven.
• 2. Turn heat to medium-high; add 2 T olive oil to Dutch oven; add peppers, onion, and celery; season with salt and pepper. Saute, stirring with a wooden spatula or spoon, until veggies are soft.
• 3. Add beef back to the Dutch oven; add the garlic; cook until garlic is fragrant. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, bouillon cube, corn, and beans. Stir to combine.
• 4. Add baking soda and stir (It will foam. This cuts down the acidity of the tomatoes and sweetens it slightly. Works great in spaghetti sauce, too!). Add in brown sugar, steak sauce, Chile powder, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, vinegar, about 2 tsp of salt, and black pepper; stir to combine. Bring it up to a bubble; cover and turn down heat to medium-low. Simmer 3 hours, stirring about every 20 to 30 minutes. Turn the heat down if it begins to stick at all, but it should not if you're using enameled cast iron.
