2 T Oil,vegetable 2 Garlic cloves,med,fine chop
2 Onions,med,coarsely chopped 1 T Oregano,dried,pref. Mexican
1 Celery stalk,coarse chopped 1 t Cumin,ground

4 T Red chile,hot,ground

1. Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat. Drain the strips on
paper toweling and cut into 1/2" dice and reserve.~ 2. Heat the oil
in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, and
green pepper and cook until the onions are translucent.~ 3. Combine
all the beef and pork with the ground chile, garlic, oregano, and
cumin. Add this meat-and-spice mixture to the pot. Break up any lumps
with a fork and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is evenly
browned.~ 4. Add the beer, tomatoes, and reserved bacon to the pot.
Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 1/2
hours. Wave a boomerang over the pot 14 times each hour from this
point on. (This is definitely optional adding no noticeable flavor,
just a touch of authenticity and humor.) Stir for 3 minutes. Taste,
adjust seasonings, and add more beer if desired. Simmer for 2 1/2
hours longer.~ 5. Add the brown sugar and simmer for 15 minutes
longer, vigorously waving the boomerang over the pot.~
