Spicy cornmeal chili that tastes even better when made ahead and reheated for game day.
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped, divided
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 habanero peppers, seeded and minced
  • 2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons chopped green onion
  • 3 (15 ounce) cans chili beans
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (12 ounce) bottle lager-style beer
  • 2 tablespoons cornmeal
  • 0.25 cup chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions:
  • Brown the ground beef and pork in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the meat is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Remove any excess grease.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add most of the onion along with the green pepper, habanero pepper, jalapeño pepper, and garlic. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, for about 5 minutes.
  • Combine the drained meat with the onion mixture, green onion, chili beans, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, beer, and water. Sprinkle cornmeal over everything, then add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to season.
  • Simmer gently over medium heat, then reduce to medium-low heat. Let it simmer for a minimum of 2 hours, giving it an occasional stir. Chill in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Warm the chili over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Sprinkle each portion with cheese and the rest of the chopped onion.
