This recipe has kept me in some chili cook-offs but mainly I make 15 quarts, which we sell at the local pub to raise money for multiple sclerocis while I guest bartend.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound London broil, trimmed and diced
  • 1 pound center cut pork loin, trimmed and diced
  • 3 slices of bacon, coarsely chopped
  • 4 ounces ground Sicilian sausage or hot sausage
  • 2 cups coarsely chopped onion
  • 2 cups finely chopped onion
  • 2 cups coarsely chopped green or red pepper
  • 5 tablespoons chopped garlic
  • 1 small jar medium-hot chilies
  • 3 (6 oz.) cans of tomato paste
  • 1 (28 oz.) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 medium can of pinto beans
  • 1 cup bar-b-que sauce
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon of molasses
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil-divided
  • 3 cups water

Dry spices:

Directions

Add 1 tablespoon peanut oil to a five quart pot over medium-high heat. Add the butter and the coarsely chopped onion and cook until carmelized.

Once carmelized, add the beef, pork, bacon and sausage, stirring occasionally until browned. Add the lime juice, stir, and reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic and 2 cans of tomato paste, stir, and let simmer for 20 minutes.

Increase the heat to medium-high, stir in remaining peanut oil, finely chopped onion, red or green peppers, chilies, tomato paste, crushed tomatos, bar-b-que sauce, all dry spices, and 3 cups of water. Stir, cover, and let cook for twenty minutes.

Reduce heat to medium-low, stir and cook for forty minutes stirring often.

Increase heat to medium, stir in pinto beans, hot sauce, and molasses, cover and cook for thirty minutes.

Serve with choices of sour cream, cheddar cheese, chopped onion or fresh horseradish. ENJOY!!

    Easy to modify for those who do not like onions or garlic. Did it the frist time using ground meats and the second with diced meats, both time were good.

    It was thick like I wanted but a little too sweet. I think my bbq sauce was sweet and it was too much. Must use smoky sauce.

    I have made this recipe a number of times. It's very tasty. I generally add extra meat and lessen the amount of barbeque sauce by half.
