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 \fILouisiana Red Hot\fR sauce to taste.
.PP
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.
.SH RATING
