   1      lb            Ground pork
   5      c             Onions -- chopped
   1 1/2  tb            Garlic -- chopped
   7      tb            Chili powder
  14      oz            Chopped green chiles (2 cans)
  48      oz            Crushed tomatoes (3 cans)
   3      tb            Tomato paste
   4                    Bay leaves -- crumbled
   1      tb            Salt
   1      tb            Oregano
   1      tb            Red wine vinegar
   1      tb            Grown sugar
  32      oz            Red kidney beans (2 cans)
   1                    Pkg corn chips
   1                    Head lettuce -- shredded
  12      oz            Sharp cheddar cheese --
                        - shredded

In a large, heavy pot, brown the meat with the onions and the garlic.
Drain off the fat and stir in the chili powder. Depending on quality,
you may want more--we get real cool stuff up here in the north. Add
chiles, tomatoes, tomato paste, bay leaves, salt, oregano, vinegar,
and brown sugar. Cover the pot and cook for 2 hours over low heat.
Add beans and cook, uncovered, 30 minutes more. Serve with side
dishes of corn chips, shredded lettuce, and shredded Cheddar cheese.
