I am very sorry but this recipe turned out inedible for me. The only change I made was to the amount of beer. Since a bottle is 12 oz. I had to open a second bottle to get the full 16. The liquid didn't come close to covering the meat and veggies though so I poured in the rest of the beer and added some water until it did. As it cooked, it started to give off a bitter, rancid smell. When I sampled it, the taste was also very bitter and it left a pretty bad aftertaste. The only thing I can think of is if maybe the oregano is supposed to be fresh not dried. Other than that, I'm not sure what could have made it so bitter. Unfortunately, I am now working on coming up with something else for supper. I'm sorry.

Still in West Virginia but we've moved a few miles away, down to the county capitol. It's a compromise: bigger than our last town but smalelr than the "big city" of Cumberland MD, right up the road. Jobs are not that plentiful here so I am fortunate to be able to work at home (I'm a writer). My passion is cooking and feeding people family well....my pet peeve is the family court systems in America......my love is for emergency medicine and the people that make survival in a crisis possible
