Ingredients:

Serving

2 lbs steak, boneless, cubed into 3/4-inch pieces (i used london broil)
1 1/2 lbs pork roast, boneless, cubed into 3/4-inch pieces
2 tbsp cajun seasoning
1 lb ground beef , lean
2 tbsp bacon drippings (or oil)
1 onion, large, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 red pepper, diced
1 banana pepper, finely diced
1 jalapeno pepper, finely diced
30 oz diced tomatoes , 2 cans ( do not drain)
4 oz chilies, diced
14 oz black beans, canned
14 oz navy beans, canned (or great northern)
14 oz kidney beans, canned (doesn'tsp matter if they're light or dark red)
1 tbsp garlic, minced
4 tbsp chili powder
4 tsp cumin, ground
1 tbsp salt (to taste)
2 tsp black pepper (to taste)
1 tsp red pepper (to taste)
12 oz beer (i prefer a lager but whatever kind you like)

Directions:

The night before, sprinkle the cubed meat with the cajun salt and put aside in ziptop bags in the fridge, cut/chop/dice all the vegetables and put aside in containers in the fridge. I premeasure all my seasonings into one small ziplock to reduce searching for stuff the day you need it.
Heat bacon grease or oil in a large skillet (I like my cast iron for this) and brown meat in batches. When the steak and pork is cooked, brown the hamburger with the onion, peppers and garlic. Drain any excess grease - there shouldn't be much if you used lean hamburger (ground turkey works too!).
Combine all the meats, tomatoes, chiles,onions, peppers, beer and spices in a large stock pot on low heat or in your crockpot set on low. Cook for 2-3 hours on the stove on low or 4-8 hours on low in the crockpot - till meats are VERY tender.
Stir in beans and cook till heated thru (45 minutes - 1 hour) - you want the beans to retain their individual colors as it makes the chili very visually stimulating and the beans will keep more of their texture.
We like to serve this over crushed tortilla chips with a dap of sour cream or shredded cheese on top. Also really good with corn bread!
Prep time does not include sitting overnight in fridge as this is really not necessary - just convenient.
