    Recipe

    Combine chicken with water in a large pot and simmer 2 hours. Strain off broth and reserve chicken for
    other use, or use canned chicken broth. Render suet to make 6-8 TBS oil or use cooking oil. Trim all fat
    and bones from pork and cut it into ¼ inch cubes.

    Trim all fat from flank steak and cut it into 3/8 inch cubes. Boil chilies 15 minutes or until tender. Remove
    seeds and cut the chilies into ¼ inch squares. Mix sugar, oregano, cumin, MSG, pepper, salt, chili powder,
    cilantro and thyme with beer until all lumps are dissolved. Add the tomatoes, celery, chilies, beer mixture
    and garlic to the chicken broth.

    Pour about a third of the reserved suet or oil into a skillet, add pork and brown. Do only half total amount
    at a time.

    Add the pork to the broth mixture, cook slowly 30 minutes.

    Brown beef in the remaining oil, about one third of the total amount at a time. Add the beef to the pork
    mixture and cook slowly about 1 hour. Add onions and peppers. Simmer 2-3 hours until meat is broken
    down, stirring with a wooden spoon every 15-20 minutes

    Cool 1 hour and refrigerate 24 hours. Reheat chili before serving it. About 5 minutes before serving time,
    add grated cheese. Just before serving, add the juice of the lime and stir the mixture with a wooden spoon.
    Makes 6 quarts.
