Chilli

Ingredients:

ground beef, 1 roll of the 2lb or 3lb chub
1 pkg. (about 1 lb) of beef (the kind you use for stews)
1 brown bag of chili seasoning
1 pkg. of Lowry's chili seasoning
4 - 6 Cups of kidney or red beans, cooked
2 cans of tomato sauce
1 can of tomatoes
1 can of tomato paste
2 cans of corn
3 - 4 bell peppers; red, green and yellow or orange
onion
chili peppers; 2 Serranos, 2 jalapenos, 2 anahien banana peppers
1 16 oz. can of beer

Method:

Brown the ground beef and drain. Cut stew meat into pieces, brown and drain. Add the brown bag seasoning and the Lowry's. Pour in a little beer and 1 can of tomato sauce.

In separate skillet: Oil pan with about 4 Tbsp. Remove the skin from the Serranos. Dice the peppers. Saute peppers and corn. Then dice up the onion and saute with peppers. Let this saute for 15 minutes. You can add more beer if the pan dries up. You want to keep it moist and bring out all the flavors.

Everything goes into a large pot. Add beans and and can of tomatoes. Continue to cook for about 30 - 45 minutes. At this point, when you can almost taste the chili add the tomato paste and the rest of the beer.

Enjoy with a good fine non-alcoholic ale.
