Yeah, I thought about that, too. But it's chili, you know.

I just found one on Google from Cuchulain Libby. If the weather is
cold where you are, you could do worse than this for a dinner this
weekend:

[begin quote]

1 ½ lb stew meat
lb ground pork
bottle or 2 good ale
4 oz dried New Mexico chiles (flavor)
2-3 oz ancho chiles (flavor)
1-2 oz arbole chiles (heat)
salt
pepper
2 Tablespoons roasted/ground cumin seeds
2 T roasted/ground coriander seeds
1 teaspoon allspice
1-3 teaspoons cayenne

Brown off the meat in a dutch oven with some olive oil or other fat,
drain
reserving some of the fat, saute the spices in with the meat.
Dry roast the chiles a bit then break them up into a saucepan and
simmer in
the beer for 10 minutes or so until rehydrated. Whirl chiles in a food
processor until pureed, with some of the liquid if necessary. Strain
puree
through medium seive into meat. Strain liquid and add to meat.
Simmer 2-3 hours adding a little water if necessary.

No onions, no tomatoes, no garlic, no chili powder just good chili.
