How to Make Adopted Chili

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of Wesson oil in a large kettle or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1.5 lbs ground beef and 1 lb ground pork; cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Remove the meat from the pot and set aside.
  2. Add 1 large chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Return the beef and pork to the pot. Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans (drained and rinsed), 1 cup beef broth, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  5. Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and the chili has thickened. Stir occasionally.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with your favorite toppings before serving (shredded cheese, sour cream, green onions, etc.)
