Frank's Spicy Alabama Onion Beer Chili

Who's Frank? I have no idea, but I do know that he has a good chili recipe and it is also very easy...can't beat that. Since it's been kind of cold out (well cold for Houston anyway) I'm kind of craving some chili. This is a good Saturday or Sunday meal because you can start it in the afternoon and let it simmer for a couple hours and it'll make an awesome dinner. If this looks familiar, I did post it to my blog a while ago.
