Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.


1 pound ground beef
1 large white onion, chopped finely
3 cans (16 ounce size) kidney beans, undrained
3 cans (16 ounce size) black beans, undrained
6 cans (14.5 ounce size) stewed tomatoes, undrained
1/2 cup seeded and chopped jalapenos
3/4 cup chili powder
1 tablespoon hot curry powder
3 tablespoons seasoned black pepper
2 tablespoons Tabasco sauce
1/4 teaspoon habanero hot sauce
Brown the ground beef in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the chopped onion and stir well. Cover the stockpot and reduce the heat to low. Let the onions cook for 5-10 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.
Add the beans, tomatoes, jalapenos, chili powder, curry powder, seasoned pepper, Tabasco sauce, and habanero sauce. Mix well.
Let the mixture simmer, covered, for 1-6 hours, stirring every hour or so. The taste improves the longer it simmers.
Serve the chili with corn chips, shredded Cheddar cheese, and sour cream, if desired.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
