Heat the oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onions, bell peppers, jalapenos and garlic. Cook until the onions are translucent, stirring occasionally.
In a large bowl combine the ground meat (this can be any combination of pork, beef, veal, turkey, etc.) with the chiles, oregano and cumin. Add this mixture to the pot, breaking up the lumps with a wooden spoon or fork. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is evenly browned.
Add the beer and tomatoes to the pot, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 90 minutes. Have a beer. Wave the good luck charm over the pot 14 times each hour from this point on. Stir for 3 minutes, taste, adjust seasonings, and add more beer if desired. Have another beer. Summer for 2.5 hours longer.
Add the brown sugar and kidney beans and simmer 30 minutes longer. Wave charm vigorously over pot during final minutes. Serves 8.
