JEN'S HEARTY THREE MEAT CHILI

Steps:

• Cook and stir sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain; place sausage in a pot large enough to hold all ingredients. In same skillet, cook and stir onion with ground beef over medium heat until beef is browned and onions are tender; drain and add to the large pot.
• In same skillet, cook and stir stew beef over medium heat until browned. Without draining, pour stew beef into the large pot.
• Pour tomatoes, beer, and water into the pot with meats. Stir in chili powder, red pepper, white pepper, sugar, and cinnamon. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Simmer until stew beef is very tender, at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally and adding more water as needed. If you prefer a thicker chili, thicken as needed with tomato paste. If using kidney beans, add them 10 minutes before serving, just in time to heat through.

SIMPLE CLASSIC CHILI

Steps:

• Place the ground beef in a large pot and throw in the garlic. Cook over medium heat until browned.
• Drain off the excess fat, and then pour in the tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and salt.
• Add in tomatoes and both cans of beans.
• Stir together well, cover, and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. If the mixture becomes overly dry, add 1/2 cup water at a time as needed.
