   3      medium        Onions -- diced
   2      medium        Green peppers -- diced
   2      large         Stalks celery -- diced
   2      small         Cloves garlic -- minced
     1/2  small         Fresh jalapeno peppers
   8      pounds        Lean chuck -- ground coarsely
   1      can           7 oz diced green chilies
  14 1/2  ounces        Can stewed tomatoes
  15      ounces        Can tomato sauce
   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. 
Whatever you use make sure it's pure chili powder, no additional seasonings added.
