Instructions
- Heat a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Crumble the ground chuck and sausage into the hot pan,
- and cook until evenly browned. Drain off excess grease.
- Pour in the chili beans, spicy chili beans, diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Add the onion, celery, green
- and red bell peppers, chile peppers, bacon bits, bouillon, and beer. Season with chili powder,
- Worcestershire sauce, garlic, oregano, cumin, hot pepper sauce, basil, salt, pepper, cayenne, paprika,
- and sugar. Stir to blend, then cover and simmer over low heat for at least 2 hours, stirring
- occasionally.
- After 2 hours, taste, and adjust salt, pepper, and chili powder if
- necessary. The longer the chili simmers, the better it will taste. Remove from heat and serve, or
- refrigerate, and serve the next day. To serve, ladle into bowls, and top with corn chips and shredded
- Cheddar cheese.
- Before serving, I would thicken the sauce with Colby Jack shredded cheese. would use a full bag (16 oz)
