Cut or grind meat into small pieces coarser than regular ground
meat. Pound with meat mallet. Combine with onion and garlic and add
to heavy, large pot or Dutch oven with lard or bacon drippings. Cook
over medium-high heat until meat is browned and onions is tender,
about 6 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep meat evenly browned. Add
bell pepper, tomato sauce and beer. Simmer, uncovered, for 30
minutes. Add remaining ingredients except packet of masa flour in
Chili Preparation package. Simmer 1 hour more, stirring occasionally.
If more liquid is needed, add beer as desired. Mix masa flour with a
little beer to make a thin paste. Stir masa mixture into chili.
Simmer another 30 minutes. Check for taste and add cayenne pepper
packet from Chili Preparation, if you dare.

Serves 4 to 6.
