  2      cl            Garlic -- minced
    1/2  sm            Fresh jalapenos
  8      lb            Lean chuck -- ground coarsely
  7      oz            Can diced green chilies
 14 1/2  oz            Can stewed tomatoes
 15      oz            Tomato sauce
  6      oz            Tomato paste

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.

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