CAPITOL PUNISHMENT CHILI
World champion Texas red chili
This recipe comes from Bill Pfeiffer.
He won the 1980 and 1982 World Chili Cookoff and took first place
in the International Chili Society's 14th annual World Championship
Chili Cookoff with it.
Pfeiffer calls this recipe "Capitol Punishment Chili" because
he won his first attempt at a chili cookoff in Washington, DC.
Texas red chili has no beans...

Notes
I use Durkee's Louisiana Red Hot sauce.
Probably your favorite brand of beer is ok.
Pfeiffer's ICS-winning recipe uses Budweiser because they sponsored the
contest.
For hotter chili, add additional Louisiana Red Hot sauce to taste.
This chili is a great dish if you have a LOT of time. Note well the
amount of time called for in each simmering step.
