4 cloves garlic, minced
12 ounces light beer (about 1 can or bottle)
28 ounces canned whole tomatoes (with juice)

Instructions
In a bowl, combine half of the spice blend with ground beef and mix until well combined.
In a skillet, brown the ground beef, onions, and garlic until no pink remains. Drain any excess fat. Add beer and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated.

Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 7-8 hours. Once cooked, remove the lid and let cool slightly before serving.
