shredd I had this when visiting friends in N'awlins. He didn't know the source of the recipe but this was sure passable chili. In a large heavy pot brown the meat with the onions and the garlic. Drain off the fat and stir in the chili powder (depending on quality you may want more - we get real cool stuff up here in the north). Add chilies tomatoes tomato paste bay leaves salt oregano vinegar and brown sugar. Cover the pot and cook for 2 hours over low heat. Add beans and cook uncovered 30 minutes more. Serve with side dishes of corn chips shredded lettuce and shredded Cheddar cheese.
