Directions:Heat the bacon grease in an 8-quart heavy bottomed stockpot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the chili powder, paprika, cumin, and oregano and stir until the spices are well combined. Add the ground chuck, sausage and 1 tsp of the kosher salt. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the meat, stirring frequently, until cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour. Adjust the seasonings with more kosher salt or chipotle chiles if necessary. Serve with any or all suggested fixin's.
Note: You can find canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (smoked jalapeņos in a thick red sauce) in supermarkets and Latino specialty markets.) |
