Preparation:

The only way I do beer chili is make a regular pot, extra hot, and drink a bunch of beers with it. Very satisfactory that way. Let it be noted that I disagree with many of the particulars of the recipe below, but it's a good example of a beer chili. Brown beef and onion in fat. Add peppers, tomato, beer, stock, cumin, garlic, pepper, and half the chili powder. Simmer until meat is done, about 2 hr. Make a paste of the masa and water. Stir this quickly into the chili. Add the paprika and the rest of the chili powder. Cook 15 min. Remove Jalapenos and serv
