Meat Church Chili

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef and pork sausage to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking the meat into small pieces as it cooks, about 8-10 minutes.

Stir in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and beef broth. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The longer you let it cook, the more the flavors will develop.

Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed. If you prefer a spicier chili, feel free to add your choice of hot sauce or chili flakes.

Once the chili is finished cooking, serve it hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
