Ingredients

  • 1 pound - ground beef
  • 1 pound - hot pork sausage
  • 1 - yellow onion
  • 1 - green bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoon - chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon - cumin
  • 2 teaspoon - garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon - paprika
  • 1 teaspoon - salt
  • 28 ounce - tomatoes
  • 15 ounce - tomato sauce
  • 15 ½ ounce - pinto beans
  • 15 ½ ounce - light red kidney beans
  • 15 ½ ounce - black beans
  • 1 cup - beef broth

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef and pork sausage in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once some of the fat has rendered, add the onion and green bell pepper. Break the meat into small pieces and continue cooking until the meat is browned and the onion is softened and translucent. Drain excess grease if desired.
  2. Add the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Stir until the meat and vegetables are evenly coated, then cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute to toast the spices.
  3. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, pinto beans, kidney beans, black beans, and beef broth. Stir to combine and bring the chili to a low boil.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Serve with your favorite chili toppings.
