  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3      md            Onions -- diced
   2      md            Green peppers -- diced
   2      lg            Celery ribs -- diced
   2      cl            Garlic -- minced
     1/2  sm            Fresh jalapenos
   8      lb            Lean chuck -- ground coarsely
   7      oz            Can diced green chilies
  14 1/2  oz            Can stewed tomatoes
  15      oz            Tomato sauce
   6      oz            Tomato paste
   6      oz            Chili powder
                        Tabasco sauce -- to taste
  12      oz            Beer
  12      oz            Mineral water -- bottled
   2                    Bay leaves -- up to 3
                        Garlic salt -- to taste
                        Salt/pepper -- to taste

Dice and saute first 5 ingredients. Add meat and brown. Add
everything else, including 1/2 can beer. Drink the remainder,
according to Annie. Add water just to cover top.

Cook about 3 hours on low heat. Stir often. Remove bay leaves.

Notes: Better the 2nd day, if you can wait that long. Also, I
substitute pure New Mexico ground red chili. Whatever you use make
sure it's pure chili powder, no additional seasonings added.
