1 HUGE onion -- roughly chopped
1 head garlic -- minced
8 New Mexican green chiles -- roasted, peeled, seeded, chopped.
1 Tbl hot Hungarian paprika -- (This is legal. Paprika is a chile.)
1 Tbl ground cumin
4 beef boullion cubes
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes -- (Don't worry. You won't even know they are there.)
1 bottle amber Mexican beer -- (Dos Equiis, Noche Buena, or any Oktoberfest will do.)
1/4 cup bourbon -- (This is one of those things that just happened.)
2 squares bitter baker's chocolate -- (Not as weird as it sounds.)
salt to taste
Sautee 1/4 of the garlic and onions until translucent. Add 1/4 of the meat, chile powder and brown. Salt the meat while cooking. Put into your chili pot. Cast iron is best. Repeat until all the meat is done. Put the rest of the ingredients in you chili pot and simmer for for a hour.
Note: I did a half batch and also could not find the Green chilis so thats a loss. Tried a new method today and subed bourbon with Tequila Blanco. Notice the lack of beans? Thats because real chili doesnt have beans. (Bet you can't guess where I'm from)

Hey chef..... if you're going to say this:
"1/2 cup GOOD chile powder -- (Your local supermarket brand tastes like cardboard.)"
You should NOT say this:
"4 beef boullion cubes"
Boullion cubes, really? What you really mean is salt cubes with a beefy taste.......
If you want to kick it up a notch without using beef "stock" try a reduced brown stock aka demi-glace.
