This is an easy chili recipe, and it produces a pot of delicious chili that is so good on a rainy or cold day.

Best Chili Recipe
SPICY HOMEMADE CHILI FROM SCRATCH
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
1 TBS oil
1 large onion, chopped (save 1/4 of raw chopped onion for garnish)
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 can chili beans
1 can (14.5oz) tomatoes, diced
1 cup homemade tomato juice
1 cup homemade tomato sauce
6 ounces tomato paste
1 can (12oz) beer
1 – 2 TBS chili powder
2 TBS brown sugar, packed
1 tsp salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
shredded cheddar cheese, for garnish
You may also serve with sour cream, sliced jalapeno slices, Frito’s or saltines.
Fry ground beef and ground pork in a heavy skillet over medium-high until cooked through. Drain and set aside.
In large pot, heat the canola oil and add 3/4 of the chopped onion and the jalapeno pepper; sautéing until tender.
Add the drained ground beef/pork mixture back into the pot and add the remaining ingredients; except the cheese. Simmer for at least 2 hours and refrigerate completely before serving. Just reheat again and add the cheddar cheese on top; sprinkled with chopped onion.
NOTE: You may simmer the chili in a crock pot on high for a few hours the night before, and reheat chili again in the slow cooker the next day. Just place the crock in the refrigerator overnight. You will agree that it is the best chili recipe when you serve this with grilled cheese sandwiches.
Serve with my homemade corn bread.
