Directions
NOTE
INGREDIENTS
Heat oil in 4-5qt pot. Add ingredients from section one, cooking with cover until tender but not browned. Stir in undrained tomatoes, and all the ingredients in section 2. Simmer for 1-2 hours. 30 minutes before serving stir in beer and nuts and simmer uncovered until it's the desired consistency. Sprinkle cheese on each serving.
For some reason I have met up with strange looks and "Raisins in chili?" when I told in advance what I used to make it. Peanuts are less expensive than cashews so I use either. As usual season to taste, this is a mild version for a starting point. I have also made the same chili and added 1 1/2lb browned ground beef without changing any of the above.
