DRUNKEN CHILE WITH HOMEMADE CHILI POWDER

Steps:

• For the chili: Remove stems & seeds from the chiles. Fill a small pot with enough water to cover the chiles (about 2 cups) & bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add chiles. Cover & leave for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes remove chiles from pot and place into a blender or food processor. Taste the water the chiles were in & if bitter discard, otherwise add about 1/2 cup of water to blender (if bitter add fresh water). Blend until smooth (about the consistency of tomato sauce). Push the sauce through a mesh strainer into a bowl & set aside. Chop the bell peppers & onion just enough so as to fit in blender. Place into blender along with garlic and "pulse" once or twice. Drizzle oil and teaspoon of salt over beef. In a large pot lightly brown beef over high heat, working in 3 or 4 batches, placing browned beef in large bowl. After beef has browned & been removed, add one 12 ounce beer to pot and deglaze, scraping off all the brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Add remaining ingredients, withholding the beans, cocoa powder, honey, brown sugar, & corn meal. Simmer, covered, 3-4 hours. Rinse beans (optional). Add beans and simmer, covered, an additional hour. Add honey, cocoa, & brown sugar. Slowly stir in corn meal until desired thickness is reached. Salt & pepper to taste. Simmer, uncovered 15-30 minutes stiring often. You may serve immediately, but, it's much better after a night of rest in the refrigerator. If it's too thick the next day, just add more beer.
