ingredients
- 3 lbs ground beef
- 1 1⁄2 lbs Portuguese chourico (I prefer chourico) or 1 1/2 lbs spanish chorizo (I prefer chourico)
- 2 cups onions, chopped
- 2 red bell peppers, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces green chili peppers, mild
- 4 (14 1/2 ounce) cans fire-roasted tomatoes, undrained
- 16 ounces tomato sauce
- 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Bourbon
- 1⁄2 cup barbecue sauce
- 2⁄3 cup Dijon mustard
- 6 -8 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons salt (to taste)
- cayenne pepper, to taste if you like it spicier
directions
- Chop all your ingredients before you begin cooking.
- In a large skillet or saute pan, brown the ground beef and chourico with onion until meat is no longer pink. Add the bell pepper and garlic and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute longer. Unless you're health conscious, don't drain the beef. When the beef is brown add the bourbon and cook, stirring for a few minutes (basically until most of the alcohol is cooked off). Transfer to a slow cooker and add remaining ingredients (or keep on a low burner if you don't have a slow cooker); cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours.
- You will need a large slow cooker or 2 slow cookers unless you cut the recipe in half.
