Instructions:

Saute garlic with onions in lard for 3-4 minutes. Mix in dark chili and Gebhardt’s. Stir well. In a separate pan, brown the beef by batches. Season with white pepper as you cook.

Mix the meat with the sauteed onions, pouring broth in to avoid sticking. Cook green chili and sausage together for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to pot with the beef and sauteed onions.

Let it cook about 15-20 minutes. Mix in the remaining ingredients except salt, Tabasco and cayenne. Stir well. Allow to cook about half an hour.

Add in the strained tea and cover. Cook chili on low-heat for two hours ’til meat becomes tender. Stir chili frequently.

On the remaining 20-30 minutes, season chili with Tabasco, cayenne and salt as desired. Good for 6 persons.
