Great base recipe. I changed it up as follows: <br/>I ground up 4 large chicken breasts (approx 2 lbs) and substituted that for beef, also used 1 medium Red onion, 4 jalapenos sliced, 2 scorpion peppers chopped, 1 whole green bell pepper chopped, 3 tomatoes chopped and 20oz light beer.<br/>The result was a hot (but not too hot) chili with a great flavor. Will make again, but probably use 16oz beer and add a can of tomato paste to thicken the mixture.<br/><br/>Overall, extremely pleased!
