8 Ways to Cook with Guinness
By Melinda Hershey, Staff Writer
Although Guinness beer is delicious to drink on its own, this smoky-sweet stout lends itself well to a variety of recipes. Instead of cracking open a bottle to sip on, try pouring it into your next culinary project! Here are some of our favorite ways to cook with this beloved Irish brew.
Dark Chocolate Stout Cake
This super rich chocolate stout cake is for serious Guinness lovers only! Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for the ultimate contrast of texture and flavor.
Slow Cooker Guinness Beef Stew
Have some beef with your beer! This special Guinness stew is easy to make, but gets a smoky depth of flavor from the tasty stout. We suggest bulking it up with extra veggies of your choice.
Chocolate Beer Quick Bread
No matter how you slice it, beer and bread just go well together. This simple raisin-studded beer quick bread is delicious for breakfast, snack time, or a dinnertime side item.
Guinness & Beef Pot Pie
We love comforting pot pies, and the addition of stout beer really takes the flavor up a notch in this beef pot pie recipe!
Guinness Cupcakes with Bailey's Cream Cheese Frosting
Guinness and Bailey's Irish Cream combine to make one very Irish cupcake! Take these to your St. Paddy's gathering and watch them disappear.
French Onion Stout Soup
We're putting a twist on the classic French onion soup with this beer-infused version. Serve with plenty of melted cheese and crusty croutons for a hearty meal.
Pork and White Bean Guinness Stew
Smoky Guinness, juicy pork and creamy white beans make for a filling one-pot meal. We love it with crusty bread and a green side salad for a crisp contrast.
Milk Chocolate Stout Ice Cream
Smooth chocolate and bittersweet Guinness are an unbeatable flavor combination. Serve this chocolate stout ice cream with whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
