Chili and Football

Football is traditionally a men's game. Add in all available stereotypes and you've got buxom women in beer commercials, technology ads, blood, dirt, and, what else? Chili.

Men also traditionally avoid cooking. Raw meat isn't healthy, mostly, so a little cooking is due. Chili is hard to grill, so other measures need to be taken. A crock pot is low maintenance, and perfect for Superbowl cooking.

Below is a recipe for Mom's Favorite Chili. Whose mom? I have no idea. However, the ingredients are few. What beer should we serve with chili?
