I made this chili and won a local chilli
contest against 20 other recipes.

[/li][li] 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

Directions
In large pot or heavy-bottomed Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until lightly crisp, stirring occasionally so that the bacon doesn’t stick to the bottom. You will render the fat and use that as your base for sautéing everything.
Drop the bacon in and let is sizzle. List to it cheer for you! Not too close though, careful so the fat doesn’t splash up!
Once the bacon is browned, add the garlic, onions, bell peppers, jalapeno and Serrano peppers, and all seasonings listed above. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. I start with 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ a teaspoon of ground black pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender and seasonings are aromatic. And boy will it smell amazing!
Add the beef and break it up with a wooden spoon. Once beef is broken up and beginning to brown, add the pork. Break up with wooden spoon like the beef, and brown, until no longer pink, roughly 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the beer and beans. Toss together, then add the crushed and diced tomatoes. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper, if necessary. At this point, after it has simmered, I add in some more cinnamon, nutmug, Tony’s Creole seasoning, and brown sugar, but I season it by taste to my liking. I start with ½ to 1 teaspoon of each and try to get it to the flavor I like best.
Hope you enjoy!
