RICH BROOKS' DAMN GOOD CHILI
This is my dad's "famous" chili. It is so meaty and yummy. It does not have any beans in it - like traditional Texas chili. The recipe can be cut in half for smaller families - or make the whole batch and freeze the unused portion or use leftovers for chili-cheese dip. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

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!

MEAN CHEF CHILI
This chili recipe has been developed over a period of years. IMHO, there is no better chili. The recipe can be cut down and made in smaller batches - but it freezes well. This is a day long project, but for those who like chiles it is well worth the effort. Remember, real chile has no beans.
