Dice and sauté the onions, green peppers, celery, garlic, and jalapeno pepper in a large pot or Dutch oven until tender.

Add the ground chuck and brown it thoroughly.

Add the diced green chilies, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, Tabasco sauce, beer, mineral water, and bay leaves.

Season with garlic salt, salt, and pepper to taste.

Add water just to cover the top of the mixture.

Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer on low for about 3 hours, stirring often.

Remove the bay leaves before serving.
