No-Bean Chili

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
Three garlic cloves, chopped
Two onions, chopped
One green bell peppers, chopped
3 pounds beef
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground oregano
3 tablespoons chili powder
Ten tomatoes -- peeled and chopped
Two jalapeno peppers -- optional
One can beer

Directions:
Heat oil in a large heavy skillet. Add garlic, onions and green pepper. Saute until soft, about five to seven minutes.

Add beef and lightly brown on all surfaces. Drain off some of the fat if a lot has accumulated. Lean beef trimmed of all fat should not have an excess amount, however.

Add remaining ingredients and simmer for one hour or slightly longer. Put a cover on skillet during cooking time, and slightly tilt it so steam can escape. Check often and stir to prevent sticking. Skim off fat as it rises. Best if allowed to sit, tightly covered, for an hour after cooking is complete.

Recipe makes six servings.
