BobberHead Chili
1/4 pound bacon, diced
3 pounds Sirloin, chili-grind
1 1/2 pounds pork butt, chili-grind
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 2/3 cups chopped onions
2 jalapenos, diced
1 3/4 teaspoons dried mexican oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 1/2 tablespoons minced serrano (hot) or California green chiles (mild)
2 1/2 tablespoons ground pasilla chiles
1 1/4 tablespoons cayenne pepper
1 3/4 tablespoons chopped garlic
Kosher Salt / fresh ground pepper to taste
1 (16-ounce) can fire roasted diced tomato (puree in blender)
1 pound plum tomatoes, diced
6 tablespoons water
1 bottle ale
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, 5 minutes. Strain and reserve the drippings for another use. Set the bacon aside.

Cook the beef and pork in the peanut oil over medium-high heat until brown, about 10 minutes. Add the onions and jalapenos and cook until the onions are tender, 10 minutes. (or untill caramelized)

Add the oregano, cumin, serrano and pasilla chiles, cayenne, garlic and salt to taste. Stir, then add the fire roasted tomato puree you made, tomatoes, water and ale. Bring to a complete boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer until the meat is tender, about 1 hour. Stir in the reserved bacon. Squeeze with lemon juice just before serving.
