Author`s Notes: This recipe comes from Bill Pfeiffer. He won the 1980 and 1 982 World Chili Cookoff and took first place in the International Chili Society `s 14th annual World Championship Chili Cookoff with it. Pfeiffer calls this re cipe ``Capitol Punishment Chili`` because he won his first attempt at a chili c ookoff in Washington, DC. Texas red chili has no beans...

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

Difficulty : moderate. Precision : approximate measurement OK.
