No initial heat with a slow build so that when a good sized bowl has been consumed you will feel a little bit of warmth around your lips.

Note: If you like some heat I would double the peppers

• 2 Lb Ground Beef
• 1 Lb Stew Meat, cut into bite-size pieces
• 2 Lb Ground Pork

• 3 24-oz Cans Crushed Tomatoes

In a large dutch oven cook the Bacon pieces over Medium Heat until they start to become crispy

Once the Bacon has browned add the Garlic, Onions, Peppers (Bell, Fresno, Jalapenos, Serranos and Habanero), Chili Powder, Cumin, Oregano and Smoked Paprika

Cook until the vegetables are tender.

In a frying pan on High Heat add the Ground Beef and once it is browned deglaze the pan with 1/3 cup of the Beer and then add to the dutch oven.
Return the frying pan to High Heat and add the Ground Pork. Once it too is browned add 1/3 C of Beer to deglaze the pan and then add to the dutch oven.
Return the frying pan to High Heat and add the Beef Stew meat. Once it starts to brown add the Pork loin pieces. Once it all this meat is browned add the final 1/3 C of Beer to deglaze the pan and then add to the dutch oven.

Stir in the Beans (Black and Kidney)
Add the Crushed and Diced Tomatoes and stir the mixture well.

Turn the heat down to low and allow to simmer for 2 Hours. Tasting to adjust seasoning and adding Salt and Pepper as needed.
