2 T oil,vegetable
2 onions,med,coarsely chopped
1 celery stalk,coarse chopped
1 bell pepper(s)
2 lb top beef sirloin,1 cubes
1 lb beef,hamburger grind

1 T oregano,dried,pref. mexican
1 t cumin,ground
2 cn beer,pref. aus.(12oz ea)
1 cn tomatoes,whole(14 1/2oz ea)
3 t brown sugar

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.
