Bourbon Chourico And Beef Chili

• 3 lbs ground beef
• 1 1/2 lbs Portuguese chourico (I prefer chourico) or 1 1/2 lbs spanish chorizo (I prefer chourico)
• 2 cups onions, chopped
• 2 red bell peppers, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces green chili peppers, mild
• 4 (14 1/2 ounce) cans fire-roasted tomatoes, undrained
• 16 ounces tomato sauce
• 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup Bourbon
• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
• 2/3 cup Dijon mustard
• 6 -8 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons salt (to taste)
• cayenne pepper, to taste if you like it spicier

1. Chop all your ingredients before you begin cooking.
2. In a large skillet or saute pan, brown the ground beef and chourico with onion until meat is no longer pink. Add the bell pepper and garlic and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute longer. Unless you're health conscious, don't drain the beef. When the beef is brown add the bourbon and cook, stirring for a few minutes (basically until most of the alcohol is cooked off). Transfer to a slow cooker and add remaining ingredients (or keep on a low burner if you don't have a slow cooker); cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours.
3. You will need a large slow cooker or 2 slow cookers unless you cut the recipe in half.
