For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of beef chuck and pork shoulder, ground fresh. Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preferred level of spice. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of shredded cheese makes a great topping.
A hearty and robust chili, brimming with a delicious blend of ground beef and pork, slow-simmered to perfection with pinto beans, vibrant bell peppers, and aromatic spices. A true comfort food classic!
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. Set meat aside.
Melt the butter in the pot over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, bell pepper, and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the cooked meat, pinto beans, tomatoes, parsley, chili powder, pepper, monosodium glutamate, salt, and cumin. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat, and simmer for 1 hour.
