Ingredients

4 lb boneless beef short ribs, cut into 1-inch pieces

1.5 lb ground chuck

2 1.25 oz. packets spicy chili powder

2 tbsp red chili pepper flakes

1 large can tomato, diced

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 cups mushrooms, thinly sliced

1 15 oz. can black beans

1 15 oz. can kidney bean

1 15 oz. can whole kernel corn

salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Brown both meats in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Discard fatty oil either by draining or using a strainer. Add about 3, 4 cups of new water and bring to a boil for 10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients; keep at a boil for another 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer, slightly uncovered and stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes or until beef is tender. Serve with rice and/or desired toppings like diced onions, cheese, or crackers. *Instead of using premade chili mix packets (like we do), you can also combine the following ingredients to make your own chili seasoning: chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, and salt.
