Hello everybody, I hope you are having an amazing day today. Today, I’m gonna show you how to make a distinctive dish, dad's chili. One of my favorites. For mine, I’m gonna make it a little bit unique. This will be really delicious.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the ground beef and ground pork. Cook and stir until the meat is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Melt the butter in the pot over medium heat.

Dad's Chili is one of the most popular of current trending meals in the world. It is enjoyed by millions every day. It is easy, it is quick, it tastes yummy. They’re fine and they look fantastic. Dad's Chili is something which I’ve loved my entire life.

To begin with this recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can cook dad's chili using 10 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make Dad's Chili:

1. Take ground sirloin
2. Prepare diced vine-ripe tomatoes
3. Make ready (or more, to taste) cooked pinto beans**
4. Prepare tomato sauce (optional)
5. Take diced garlic cloves
6. Take diced red onion
7. Make ready Oregano
8. Take Cumin
9. Get Paprika or crushed red pepper flakes (desired spice level)
10. Take olive oil

I use a packet of McCormick's Original Chili Seasoning for. Saute onion and jalapeno in butter. While onion sautes brown the beef and sausage, drain. To a large stock/soup pot over low heat add beans, green chilis, and tomatoes.

Steps to make Dad's Chili:

1. In a 'chili pot' (with a cover), heat oil to a medium heat, then add garlic and onion. Saute for a few minutes, until fragrant.
2. Add 1Tbsp of oregano, 1/2tsp of cumin and 1tsp of paprika. Stir.
3. Add beef and brown to a pink/brown shade (almost fully cooked). If you choose to 'spice up' seasonings, do it now. I love experimenting with garam masala, savory, ground clove, cinnamon, turmeric, black pepper and ground ginger
4. Add beans with a 1/4 cup of liquid from cooking or can. Stir. Cover and cook for 5-10min. on med/low heat. (This is when you can dice the tomatoes)
5. Add 1Tbps of oregano, and more paprika or crushed red pepper flakes to taste. Then add tomatoes. Stir. Cover. Continue cooking for 10min.
6. The chili will be 'done' now. But, the longer you let it simmer, the deeper the flavor. Thicken the chili with tomato sauce, or tomato paste, but keep in mind to add more spices to adjust the flavor.
7. For me, I've adjusted 'too spicy' with oregano and hint of basil. I've adjusted 'too mild' with savory and paprika. Have fun!!! Enjoy:-)
8. *If you have never cooked beans from scratch for your chili, I recommend you try it. What a difference!! 1/2 to 3/4cup dried beans is plenty for this recipe. Soak them in 2cups of water over night. Dump the water into your garden in the morning and place the beans in pot with 4cups of water, 2-3 halved garlic cloves, black pepper, paprika and possibly a cinnamon stick or 2. Bring to a boil, turn down to simmer, and cover. Cook for 3-4hours.
9. Ready to serve and ENJOY!

While onion sautes brown the beef and sausage, drain. To a large stock/soup pot over low heat add beans, green chilis, and tomatoes. Add onion and jalapeno when tender to pot and add meat when brown. Add chili powder, garlic, and cumin. My dad's chili is hearty, spicy, and full of meat.
