Servings: 18 servings
Ingredients
- 6 lbs ground beef
- 2 lbs ground pork
- 6 lb can diced tomatoes
- 4 cans black beans drained
- 6 small onions diced 2 large
- 8 cloves garlic pressed or chopped
- 1/4-1/3 cup chili powder
- 3 tablespoons chicken bouillon powder I use Knorr
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon dry oregano
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- optional add a tablespoon of crushed red pepper flakes for some spice
Instructions
- In a dutch oven ( I use a 9qt dutch oven and it fills it to the top-so you may want to use a larger pot or two smaller pots)
- On medium heat, saute onion garlic, ground beef, ground pork until all meat is cooked.
- Add tomatoes, beans, and spices.
- Stir and heat on medium until it comes to a boil, turn on low for at least 1/2 hour and hour is even better.
- Add in a cup of water mixed with 3 tablespoons cornstarch mixed well, drizzled into the boiling chili and give it a gently stir so it'll thicken the chili nicely.
- Serve topped with cheese, sour cream, and green onions.
Notes
You can make 1/2 a batch or even a 1/4 batch depending on how much chili you need.
I like my chili topped with diced onion or scallions and cheddar cheese and sometimes diced jalapenos.
