  Dice and saute first 5 ingredients. Add meat and brown. Add everything
  else, including 1/2 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.
