Jerry's Chili

2 lbs ground beef
1 lb sausage
2 lbs beans (kidney, black, or red)
2 large onions, chopped
2 green peppers, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
3 jalepenos, chopped and seeded
2 28oz cans crushed tomatoes
1 cube beef bullion
2 Tbs Worcestershire
1 Tbs salt
6 Tbs chili powder
6 cups water
1 12oz bottle of your favorite beer (yes, really)

Prepare beans according to packaging (can substitute two 27oz cans of kidney beans, rinsed).
Brown meat and set aside. Sautee onions in bottom of stock pot in butter. Add water, tomatoes, peppers, bullion, Worcestershire, salt, chili powder, and beer. Bring to simmer. Add meat and beans. Simmer for 20 minutes (cooks out alcohol) or until peppers are at desired doneness. Very flavorful. However, if allowed to sit at room temp too long, the yeast in the beer will begin to react, thus altering the flavor. Be sure to refrigerate or freeze leftovers.
