  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  3             pounds lean ground beef
  1                     onion -- Minced finely
  3             cloves  garlic -- minced
  1              pound  crushed tomatoes
  5                     jalapeno peppers -- minced
  2               cups  light beer
     1/4      teaspoon  pepper
  2               cups  beef stock
     1/2           cup  chili powder (make sure it contains no sugar)
  1         tablespoon  salt
  1         tablespoon  cumin seed
  1           teaspoon  paprika
  1         tablespoon  cocoa powder


     Fry meat until brown.  Drain thoroughly.  Add onion, garlic and beer
and stir; simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.  Cover and simmer for at least 3
hours, the longer the
better.  Degrease if any grease rises.  Test for seasonings and adjust as
desired, but the chili must simmer at least 1 hour after any additions.
Leave cover ajar for last hour of simmering.  Degrease chili if necessary.
If it becomes
too thick, thin with beer, not water.      This chili improves with
freezing and reheating.  DON'T put beans in this chili.  It is excellent
with grated Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese melted on top and used as a
dip for pork rinds or low-carb chips.  This chili can also be used as a
filling for
tacos, burritos, etc.
