1 teaspoon granulated onion

1 ½ tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
6 ounces lager beer (hubby likes this with a bock)

1
In large stock pot over high heat, add butter and bacon grease.
2
Cook bell pepper, jalapeno, chiles and onion about 5 minutes.
3
Add garlic and saute a minute longer.
4
Add chuck and brown.
5
Add ground beef and sausage to brown and stir gently, trying not to break up the ground beef too much.
6
Cook until meat is nicely browned and cooked through, about 7 to10 minutes.
7
Add in granulated onions, granulated garlic, chili powder, paprika, cumin, cayenne, oregano, cinnamon, cocoa powder, salt, and pepper and cook for 1 minute.
8
Add in tomato sauce and paste and stir for 2 minutes.
9
Stir in beer and chicken stock.
10
Add beans, lower heat and simmer for 2 hours.
11
Serve with cornbread and love.
12
*Notes - an alternative to the 2 jalapenos would be 1 seeded serrano chili (never thought I'd be hard pressed to find jalapenos in Texas, but it's happened to me, and the green grocer had this recommendation)
13
What we do for the beef is to use a 2 lb chuck roast and cube half of it, and grind the other half ourselves.
14
Cheaper than ground beef, and tastier, too!
