Chili is a classic American dish that is perfect for a crowd. This recipe takes things up a notch by using both beef and pork, cooked until it is so tender that it falls apart. The chili is then simmered with classic ingredients such as chili powder, garlic, and onions, as well as unexpected additions such as oregano and chocolate. The end result is a rich, flavorful dish that is perfect for cold winter nights or game day parties. The recipe is flexible and can be customized to suit individual tastes, making it a perfect go-to for any occasion.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2.Season the beef and pork generously with salt, pepper, and ground cumin.
3.In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches if necessary, add the beef and pork and cook until browned on all sides.
4.Transfer the beef and pork to a large bowl. Add the onions to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
5.Add the chili powder, oregano, and garlic to the pot and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
6.Add the crushed tomatoes and chocolate to the pot and stir until the chocolate is melted.
7.Return the beef and pork and any accumulated juices to the pot and stir to combine.
8.Cover the pot and transfer to the oven. Bake until the beef and pork are very tender and easily pull apart with a fork, about 3 hours.
9.Remove the pot from the oven and use two forks to pull the beef and pork into shreds.
10.Stir in the beans, if using, and cook over medium heat until heated through.
