RICH BROOKS' DAMN GOOD CHILI

Steps:

• Chop the onions, peppers, celery stalk, jalapeno, and mince the garlic clove.
• Heat the vegetable oil on med-high heat and saute the onions, peppers, celery stalk, jalapeno, and garlic until they are soft and onions are translucent.
• Add the beef and continue cooking until the beef is no longer pink, adding salt and pepper to taste.
• When finished cooking, spoon any excess oil from beef mixture and transfer the beef mixture to a soup/chili pot.
• In a separate bowl, mix the chili powder, cumin, garlic salt, hot sauce, salt and pepper, and the beer. Let it sit for a few minutes.
• Add the chili powder mixture from the bowl to the beef mixture in the soup pot.
• Next add the water, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, diced green chilies, and bay leaf to the pot.
• Cover and cook on low heat for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
• I serve it with shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream. It's also good with Fritos, crackers, or as just plain chili!
