  I had this when visiting friends in N'awlins.  He
  didn't know the source of the recipe, but this was
  sure passable chili. 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 chilies, 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.
