Directions: |
Directions:1. When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 350℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes. 350 ˚F / 177 ˚C
2. Add the ground beef and chorizo to a large Dutch oven on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until the meat is browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer the meat to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon, discarding the excess fat.
3. Return the Dutch oven to medium-high heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the onion and green and red bell peppers. Sauté for 10 minutes, until the onion is lightly browned. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes more, until fragrant. Add the tomato paste and cook until the color darkens to a rusty red. Return the meat to the pot, then add the beans, tomato sauce, and stewed tomatoes and stir. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the oregano, chili powder, cumin, and bay leaves. Season with salt to taste.
4. Transfer the Dutch oven to the grill grates. Close the lid and cook until the chili has thickened and the flavors have melded, adding beef stock as needed if it is looking too dry, 45-60 minutes. 350 ˚F / 177 ˚C
5. Remove the bay leaves and serve the chili hot with your favorite toppings. Enjoy |
