  1      ts            Salt
  1      ts            Pepper

* (we use half this amount and seed the chiles)

Soak and cook beans until tender.

In a soup pot, saute ground meat and sirloin until done. Remove. (We
saute in a little olive oil)

Add onions, garlic and cilantro to pot and saute for 3-5 minutes or
until onions are softened.

Add chicken broth, beer, poblano peppers and tomato. Bring to a boil
and reduce to a simmer.

Add meat, beans, tabasco, oregano, cumin, parsley, salt, and pepper.
Stir well.

Simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Note: you could eliminate the meat by using TVP(R) for the ground and
doubling the amount of beans. I have not tried this though.

Tony's notes: Fresh poblano peppers are essential to this recipe.
We've found they tend to be rather mild in mid-summer, with the
hotness increasing as they move into the end of the growing season.
Adjust the number of peppers to your taste and the hotness of the
particular chiles you use. Incidentally, although it's heresy to say
it, this is a pretty low-fat recipe.

Enjoy

Notes: OK, folks, try the following recipe, then come back and tell
me it's not chili. The only rule is you have to cook up a batch and
try it first. - Tony <[email protected]>
