Chili Lover'S Chili - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    ground beef
    ground pork
    diced onion
    diced celery
    diced green pepper
    tomato sauce
    water
    beef base (bullion cubes will work)
    cumin
    chili powder
    black pepper (freshly ground)
    salt (optional)
    roasted garlic
    oregano
    dry mustard
    1 ounce tequila
    1 (12 ounce) can beer (I use Corona)
    paprika
    sugar (not a lot-just enough to reduce acidity)
    unsweetened cocoa powder
    ground coriander
    hot sauce
    cayenne pepper (adjust to taste or omit)
    homemade pinto beans, made using leftover ham bone from a spiral cut ham (You can also use kidney beans or canned pinto beans but chili is not as good)
Preparation
    Brown beef and pork.
    Drain.
    Steam or boil the browned meat to remove the fat (please don't skip this step or your chili will be GREASY!).
    Drain meat again and place back in pan and add onion, celery, green pepper, and some of the dry seasonings above to season the meat mixture.
    Add all ingredients except beans to a large pot.
    Simmer on low for 2-3 hours,adding beans the last half hour of cooking time.
