Instructions

Heat up the oil in a large pot, over medium heat.
Add diced onion, jalapeno, and bell pepper and sauté until it starts to become transparent. Add diced tomatoes and sauté until veggies soften. Add minced garlic, stir well and sauté until fragrant.
Mix ground beef and ground pork together and add the mixture to the pot. Stir well, cover and cook stirring occasionally.
When the meat is almost all cooked (you will notice that it gave out a lot of juice), add the beer, stir and heat through.
Add the spices, tomato sauce and tomato paste, stir well. Taste to check if you need more salt or more heat.
Drain the beans and add them to the chili. Stir well and cover.
Cook on medium-low to low heat, cover, and cook for about about an hour. Take off the lid and cook uncovered for about 30-40 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally.

Notes

To store: Store your cooled chili in an airtight food storage container in the refrigerator for about 4-5 days.
To freeze: cool it as quickly as possible, portion it into smaller zip-top freezer bags (or freezer container), let all the air out, and close it tight. Freeze for up to 2 months.
To thaw: Pull the frozen bag from the freezer and place it in the refrigerator. Let it slow-thaw overnight. Reheat it in the microwave or on stove-top over medium heat.
