1 large onion chopped
1 1/2 lbs of very lean beef
1 clove of garlic chopped or smashed
2 cans tomatoes (1 without salt added for me - makes it taste fresher)

1 tab. apple cider vinegar
1 can or bottle of beer

Chop onion and brown in small amount of oil. When onion almost done add beef. When browned remove any excess fat. Add garlic to brown a minute or two. Add tomatoes, pintos, chili powder, vinegar, and beer. Heat to low boil and simmer 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with what ever you usually serve chili with.
