Kelly'S Chili - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef or 1 lb ground beef
1 lb pork sausage
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
2 -3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 -3 jalapenos, chopped (use more or less for desired heat)
1 (14 ounce) can zesty chili style canned tomatoes
1 (14 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (4 ounce) can plain tomato paste
1 (6 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (12 ounce) bottle beer (or more for desired consistency)
2 teaspoons cumin
4 tablespoons chili powder
salt & pepper

Preparation

Brown meat in a heavy bottomed stock pot until no longer pink. Drain.
Return meat to pot with onion, green and jalapeno peppers and garlic. Sweat until onions are translucent.
Add black beans,all 3 kinds of tomato and beer (I pour the beer into the tomato cans to get any \"leftovers\"). Add seasonings, stir.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes (or longer if you like).
I serve mine over elbow noodles with cheese and sour cream.
