Beef and Pork Chili with Beans
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large onions, diced
- 2 large red bell peppers, diced
- Kosher salt
- 2 to 4 jalapenos, seeded and minced
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 pounds ground pork
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 3 tablespoons ground pure chile powder
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 12 ounces beer
- Two 28-ounce cans tomatoes with juice
- 2 cups beef broth
- Two 15-ounce cans kidney beans, drained
- Sour cream, for garnish
- 1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the onions and bell peppers and a sprinkling of salt, and saute until the vegetables are tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add the jalapenos and garlic and saute for 2 more minutes; remove from the heat and set aside.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
- When the oil is shimmering, add the ground pork and ground beef, and saute until browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add the chile powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and cayenne.
- Reduce the heat, and cook, stirring, for about 6 minutes, until the spices form a thick paste on the meat.
- Add the beer, and cook, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan, for 2 to 3 minutes, until slightly reduced.
- Add the reserved onion-pepper mix to the pot, then the tomatoes and beef broth, and simmer for about 30 minutes.
- Add the beans to the chili and cook just until they are warmed through, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Ladle the hot chili into bowls; top with sour cream and scallions, and serve.
