  1      lb            Ground pork
  5      c             Onions -- chopped
  1 1/2  tb            Garlic -- chopped
  7      tb            Chili powder
 14      oz            Chopped green chiles (2 cans)
 48      oz            Crushed tomatoes (3 cans)
  3      tb            Tomato paste
  4                    Bay leaves -- crumbled

In a large, heavy pot, brown the meat with the onions and the garlic.
Drain off the fat and stir in the chili powder. Depending on quality,
you may want more--we get real cool stuff up here in the north. Add
chiles, tomatoes, tomato paste, bay leaves, salt, oregano, vinegar,
and brown sugar. Cover the pot and cook for 2 hours over low heat.
Add beans and cook, uncovered, 30 minutes more. Serve with side
dishes of corn chips, shredded lettuce, and shredded Cheddar cheese.
