   8      pounds        lean chuck -- ground coarsely
   1      7 oz can      diced green chilies
   1      14 1/2 oz can stewed tomatoes
   1      15 ounce can  tomato sauce
   1      6 ounces can  tomato paste
   6      ounces        chili powder
                        tabasco sauce to taste
  12      ounces        beer
  12      ounces        mineral water -- bottled
   3                    bay leaves -- or 2 your choice
                        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. 

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