Ta very much. :)

Oh, ta, I'll give her a nudge to see if she can offer any decent tips/recipes, I love Tex Mex, it'd be great to cook meat in the big smokers for 10 hours like you see on the T.V, I'll bet that meat is devine.
I've not tried the below recipe, but it won the BBC One Show Chilli Champion Cookoff recently, so may well be worth further investigation:

Hmmm, leave out the cacao and celery and it has all the makings of a good chilli con carne, but "grated Cheddar cheese" to garnish ? Surely not. Cream cheese or cr
I'm with you on the celery, but I do add cacao when the mood takes me. I was interested to see that there's no coriander or cumin powder used in the no.1 recipe is this is something I always use and assumed was essential.
I'd go with chedder cheese and creme fraiche, personally.
Ooh, I failed to spot the omission of the cumin : that is indeed a standard ingredient in chilli powder (as opposed to ground chillies) for a blend intended for use in chilli con carne.

This is my version of chilli ;)
2 tbs veg or corn oil
4-5 onions, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, crushed
3lb chuck steak, cut into bite size cubes (I suppose you could use stewing steak if you want)
5 tbs chilli powder
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp dried cumin
2 dashes tabasco sauce
3 tbs tomato puree
12 fl oz beer
1 heat oil in a saucepan, add onions and garlic until softened, add the beef cubes and brown on all sides, stir in the remaning ingredients and bring to the boil. cover and simmer for 45min,
2 uncover the pan and continue simmering for 20-25min or until the meat is tender,
3 taste and adjust the seasoning, serve hot with rice and red kidney beans
