INGREDIENTS
3 Anaheim chiles, roasted, peeled, chopped
3 poblano chiles, roasted, peeled, chopped

2 jalapeño peppers, seeds and ribs removed, minced

1 pound boneless beef chuck, trimmed of fat and gristle, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 pounds ground beef
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
3 tablespoons chili powder (Try using 3 different chili powders for great depth of flavor - I use ancho, chipotle and Mexican)
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (Half this amount for less heat)
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
2 teaspoons granulated onion
2 teaspoons hot paprika (not smoked)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 cups tomato sauce
8 ounces tomato paste
12 ounces of your favorite beer (I use an IPA because I like the hoppy flavor)
1 cup chicken stock

2 15-ounce cans pinto beans, with juice
Optional Garnishes:
1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced or 1 red onion, finely chopped
