1/2 head garlic, minced (about 1/8 cup)
1/2 pound boneless chuck, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 pounds ground beef, coarse grind
1/2 pound bulk Italian sausage
1 teaspoons granulated onion

1/2 cup chicken stock
1 (15.5-ounce) cans pinto beans, with juice
1 (15.5-ounce) cans kidney beans, with juice

Steps:

In large stock pot over high heat, add butter and bacon grease. Add bell pepper, jalapeno, chiles and onion and cook until caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute a minute longer. Add chuck and brown. Add ground beef and sausage to brown and stir gently, trying not to break up the ground beef too much. Cook until meat is nicely browned and cooked through, about 7 to10 minutes. Add in granulated onions, granulated garlic, chili powder, paprika, cumin, coriander, cayenne, salt and pepper and cook for 1 minute. Add in tomato sauce and paste and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in beer and chicken stock. Add beans, lower heat and simmer for 2 hours.
