Found this recipe a few weeks ago and now my place smells fantastic. I added some ingredients of course :smoking:


1 tablespoon cooking oil (canola, coconut, olive) 1 tablespoon canna-cooking oil
2 slices bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, peeled and chopped

2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 lb. ground beef
1⁄2 lb. bulk Italian sausage
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder 1 teaspoon salt

1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
4 cups beef broth
1 bottle (12 ounces) dark beer, the darker the better
2 cans (15 ounces each) light red kidney beans, not drained
2 cans (10 ounces each) diced tomatoes with green chilis not drained
1 can (15 ounces) refried beans
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice Optional garnishes: chunky-style salsa, cubed avocado, fresh cilantro leaves, sliced jalapeño, red onion

1. In a large soup pot heat the oils. Add the bacon and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the onion and cook for 5-7 minutes. Add the beef and sausage and cook until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes. Add the spices and sauté for 4-5 minutes.

2. Add the broth, beer, kidney beans, tomatoes and refried beans. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 40-45 minutes. Taste for salt and pepper.

3. Stir in the lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with your choice of ingredients.
