2 medium yellow onions, chopped

For Firewater: Can be pureed in a blender or added straight to the pot if you chop the jalapeno and poblano chiles.
For Chili: Heat a large pot on medium high heat. Add olive oil and half of the meats. Brown on all sides, remove or push to side, then add remaining meat.
Add next 6 ingredients. Stir. Mix seasonings in, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add Firewater and cover. Cook for 1 1/2 hours on medium low heat until meat is tender, stirring occasionally.
For thicker chili, add cornstarch mixture and turn heat up. Cook and stir until chili is thickened, a few minutes.

Nutritional data has not been calculated yet.Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

I created this award winning chili! The key is the hand cut cubes of beef, and taking the time to brown them in batches! Only use a quarter a can of the chilies in adobo before tasting - it can be really spicy if you use entire can! This wins every chili contest!!! Good luck, Shari Scoggin Saslaw
