A rich and flavorful chili recipe perfect for cozy evenings.
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the ground beef and pork.
Break the meat into small pieces as it cooks for even browning.
Add the chopped yellow and red onions, celery, and minced garlic to the pot.
Cook until the onions are translucent for the best flavor.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, green pepper, mushrooms, and corn.
Drain and rinse the beans to reduce excess sodium.
Season with cumin, chili powder, paprika, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more chili powder for extra heat.
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the chili simmer for 2 hours.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
Serve the chili hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped cilantro.
Pair with a side of cornbread for a complete meal.
