Preparation:
Brown onion then add beef and pork; brown until no longer pink. Add the remaining ingredients and cook at least 1 hour (or until pork is thoroughly cooked). Taste and adjust seasoning. Then cook for another 1/2 hour. If the chili isn't as thick as you like add a little cornmeal mixed with water and whisk into the chili.Serve in bowls topped with cheese, chopped onions and sour cream.
Chili usually taste better the second day after the flavors have had a chance to meld together. - Marsha Sue
