Recipe for Good Chile

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 beer (Labatt Blue was the stoutest thing we had on hand)
• 8oz. tomato paste
• Chili powder

Brown beef, drain fat. Add beer and tomato paste, put in some chili powder, a couple of tablespoons perhaps. Stir it up, let simmer for a few minutes. Taste and add more chili powder until desired heat reached. Let simmer for 2-4 hours; the flavors will meld and intensify.
