Pork and Beef Chili

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless pork butt, coarsely ground or chopped
• 2 pounds chuck roast, coarsely ground or chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 package Wick Fowler’s Chili Kit

Directions

1. Combine the chili pepper, red pepper, cumin and oregano and paprika packets in a small bowl and mix well. Season the beef and pork with the spice mixture.
2. Set pressure cooker to the saute setting; when hot, add oil.
3. Add meat to the pot, in batches, and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove the meat to a bowl, using a slotted spoon.
4. Add tomatoes, onion and garlic packet, salt and beans to the pot. Return meat to the pot. (Reserve the remaining corn masa flour packet for another use.) Set pressure cooker to high for 15 minutes. When done, select cancel and release pressure naturally.
5. Serve topped with traditional garnishes such as tortilla chips, salsa, diced avocado, shredded cheese, sour cream and cilantro.

Chef’s note:

• Do not use regular ground pork or beef for this recipe. Either ask your butcher to coarsely grind the meat for you or roughly chop it into 1/4-inch pieces for best results.
