How to Make Weapon Of Mass Destruction Chili

  1. Combine 1 (15-ounce) can of beans and 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Reduce heat and simmer until beans are tender, about 1 hour.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil or 2 tablespoons of drippings from the meat in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add 1 large onion (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced).
  5. Sauté until vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Transfer the vegetables to a 6-quart Dutch oven and set aside.
  7. Add 1 lb ground pork and 1 lb ground beef to the same skillet. Brown well, breaking up the meat with a spoon.
  8. Stir the browned meat into the vegetables in the Dutch oven.
  9. Add the beans and their liquid along with 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon oregano, ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste).
  10. Mix well, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
  11. Add ½ cup red wine (optional) and cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
  12. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  13. If the chili is too thin, stir in 2-4 tablespoons of tortilla flour paste to thicken (make paste by combining flour with a little water until a smooth paste forms).
