Juliane's Chili

Sunday was a cold, rainy day....my friend and I decided to have an impromptu "chili cook off"......luckily we made two completely different types of chili and they both rocked! This is my chili recipe......

Juliane's Chili

2 Bell peppers, diced
1 White onion, diced
8 Cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup parsley
1.5 lb ground beef
1.5 lb ground pork
1/3 cup chili powder
1 1/2 tsp black pepper
2 Tbsp salt
1 1/2 tsp cumin
2 beef bouillon cubes
2 Bay leaves
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1 can beer
2 small cans tomato sauce
1-28 oz cans diced tomatoes
3-3.5 lbs pinto beans (canned)

Saute the bell pepper, onion, garlic and parsley in about 2 tbsp oil until the onions are transparent.

To that mixture, add the beef and the pork. When the meat is cooked thoroughly, add the chili powder, salt, pepper, cumin, oregano and crushed red pepper. Add the beer to the mixture. Then add the beans, the tomatoes, the beef bouillon cubes and bay leaves.

This chili can be simmered for an hour or all day....it really just gets better. It's also even more delicious the next day, if that's even possible! lol
I served it with cheddar cheese and sour cream....YUMMMMMMMMY!
