Directions
Dice and sauté first 5 ingredients.
Add meat and brown. Add everything else, including ½ 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.
Also, those I substitute pure New Mexico ground red chili.
Whatever you use make sure it's pure chili powder, no additional seasonings added.

WAY too much meat. I only used 5 lbs, and it was still WAY too meaty. Next time I plan to use 3 pounds. That seems to be about right.
