Dad's Halloween Chili
  1. Heat a large dutch oven or stockpot over medium for 1-2 minutes.

  2. Add the ground beef and pork and flatten to an even layer. Cook, without stirring, for 5 minutes.

  3. Flip the meat and begin breaking it up with a spatula. Continue cooking until mostly browned, but some pink remaining, 7-8 minutes more.

  4. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to a medium bowl, leaving the fat behind in the pan.

  5. Drain all but a tablespoon of the fat from the pan and put back on the heat.

  6. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, 8-10 minutes.

  7. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

  8. Add the meat back to the pan along with all spices, sugar, and salt. Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes more.

  9. Add the tomato sauce, beer, and beef bouillon mixed with 4 cups of hot water, stirring to combine.

  10. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for about 1 hour 30 minutes.

  11. Add the beans and cornmeal, stirring to incorporate. Let simmer 10 minutes more.

  12. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
