Whatever Chili
I add a whatever meats I have in the freezer. The more variety, the better!
1 lb. ground pork
1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. chuck steak, fat trimmed, cubed
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 dark beer (16-22 oz)
2-3 cans beef broth
4 Tbs. ground cumin
5 Tbs. chili powder
2 tsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
3 6oz. cans tomato paste
2 tsp. sugar
3 cups fresh diced tomato
3 cups frsh diced onion
3 cups diced red bell pepper
tabasco sauce
4 cans beans (black, kidney, pinto)drained, rinsed
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
⅓ can chipotle peppers in adobe sauce
Sour Cream
Cheddar Cheese, grated
Brown ground meats in large heavy pot, about 5 minutes. Add any cubed meats and garlic and saute about 5 minutes. Add beer and broth (enough to fully cover meat, add water or more broth if you have to) bring to a boil. Add cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt and cayenne pepper. Reduce heat, cover, simmer 10 minutes. Add tomato paste and sugar and simmer 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, onions and peppers and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 to 45 minutes. Add beans and cilantro.
Add enough beef broth to desired consistency. Add a dash or two of Tabasco Sauce and add chipotle peppers with adobe sauce. I usually dice about 3 or 4 of the peppers and then spoon most of the adobe sauce out of the can to add to the chili. It depends on how spicy you want it.(Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and keep refrigerated.) Bring chili to a simmer. Ladle hot chili into bowls; top with a dab of sour cream, grated cheese and serve.

The adobe sauce adds a smoky flavor but, be warned...the more chipotle peppers or adobe sauce that you add, the hotter it gets!
