Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 pound ground pork
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely diced
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 14 ounce can fire roasted tomatoes
• 1 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
• 1 15 ounce can black beans – drained and rinsed
• 1 15 ounce can red kidney beans – drained and rinsed
• 2 teaspoons mustard powder
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 to 2 teaspoons chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 4 cups beef stock
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• Cheddar cheese, sour cream and green onions for garish

Step-By-Step Recipe Method

1. Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large dutch oven over medium high heat. Add in the ground beef. Season with 1 teaspoon each of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Once cooked and browned, remove ground beef and reserve in a bowl.
2. In the same pot, add 2 more teaspoons of the oil to the dutch oven and repeat this process with the ground pork (same seasonings). Once cooked and browned, remove pork and reserve in the same bowl as the beef.
3. Add in 2 more teaspoons of the oil and cook the diced onions over medium heat for about 8 minutes, or until translucent. Add in the diced bell peppers, jalapeño, and garlic (season with salt). Cook for another 5 minutes. Add in all of the spices and cook for about 30 seconds or until the spices are fragrant.
4. Pour in the can of crushed tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Add in the fire roasted tomatoes, 4 cups beef stock, brown sugar, and season with salt. Bring to a simmer, add beef and pork back in along with beans and turn heat to medium-low. Cook (stirring occasionally) for about an hour. Finish with 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar and taste for salt.
5. Garnish with cheddar cheese, sour cream, and scallions!
