Beef, Black Bean and Chorizo Chili

D made this. It was awesome. It wasn't too spicy, but had a bite. If we had tortilla chips it would make awesome nachos. Basically it tasted like a good bar chili. We had with rice, cheddar, and sour cream.

Look at that site for pictures

1 lb lean ground beef - 90/10
6 oz pork chorizo, casing removed (D used 12 oz, because we had no other use for chorizo)
1-2 tsp olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
8 cloves of garlic, chopped
1/2 orange bell pepper, diced (D used green because it was cheaper)
1 jalapeno, diced
2 tsp cumin powder
3 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp black pepper
2 tsp salt
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp vinegar
1 7 oz can of whole green chiles, diced
2 15 oz cans diced tomatoes
2 15 oz cans of tomato sauce (D used 4 8oz cans)
1 15 oz kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained

Preheat your oven to 250 degrees. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Once the pot is hot, add ground beef and chorizo (casing removed) cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally then add onions, pepper, garlic and jalapeno. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes before adding tomatoes, tomato sauce, green chiles and beans. Add all spices and vinegar, stir then cover with a lid and place in the oven. Cook for 4-6 hours, stirring throughout the day if you can. Top with cheddar cheese, green onions and sour cream, if desired. Enjoy.
