I wish I knew the person's name who posted (and won I contest if memory serves) this recipe. This is an excellent recipe. I hope she reads it to take the credit.

3 pounds beef stew meat chipped into smaller pieces
3 pounds country style pork ribs chipped into small pieces
3 pounds chorizo sausage casing removed
6 to 8 Dried Ancho Chilis remove seeds tear into pieces blend in mixer with a little water to make a paste
6 to 8 Dried Chipolte Chilis done as above
3 to 4 fresh jalepenos chopped
3 to 4 fresh anahiem peppers chopped
3 to 4 habeneros chopped
3 to 4 bell peppers chopped
3 to 4 onions chopped
3 to 4 pablanos chopped
chili powder
cumin
1 bottle Shine Bock beer
two squares unsweetened chocolate
salt and pepper
tomato sauce
tomato paste

Gray off all the meat, put in pot. Add tomato sauce and paste, Add chili powder and cumin, salt and pepper. Add water if needed. The secret is you want to serve this stuff with meat in every bite so gauge the sauce, paste and water to not get the mixture too soupy. Simmer for 1 to 2 hours.

At this point add the fresh ingredients, and the bottle of beer. Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. You want to still see the fresh stuff and not have it turn into mush so be careful. 10 minutes before serving melt the chocolate squares into the Chili. Taste and adjusts seasonings, Take it to the judges.

My variations:

I use whatever peppers I can find. I don't use as many as this recipe but I do use the meat combination. It's awesome.

I use crushed tomatoes rather than sauce

I used sweetened chocolate (because that's all I had) and it was mmm mmm good.

I serve with cornbread.
