Method
- Add the bacon grease and butter to a large stockpot over high heat.
- Add the Anaheim chiles, poblano chiles, red bell peppers, jalapeno chiles and onions, and cook until caramelized, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and saute 1 minute longer.
- Add the chuck and brown, about 4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef and sausage and brown, stirring gently, trying not to break up the ground beef too much.
- Cook until the meat is nicely browned and cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Add the chili powder, cayenne, coriander, cumin, granulated garlic, granulated onion, paprika, salt and black pepper, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the tomato sauce and paste, and stir to caramelize, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the beer and stock.
- Add the kidney and pinto beans; lower the heat and simmer, about 2 hours.
- Serve the chili in bowls over Double-Fried French Fries and garnish with crackers, green onions and Cheddar.
- Peel the potatoes on the sides, leaving the ends with the skin on.
- Cut the potatoes into 1/3-inch slices and then slice into 1/3-inch sticks.
- Fill a large bowl with water and soak the potatoes, submerged, at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
- This will help remove the excess starch from the potatoes and keep them from oxidizing.
- Fit a heavy stockpot with a deep-fry thermometer and heat the oil to 325degress F.
- Remove the potatoes from the water and pat dry to remove excess water.
- Carefully place two handfuls of potatoes into the hot oil.
- There should be at least 1 inch of oil above the potatoes.
- Parcook until the potatoes are light brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Remove the potatoes, gently shaking off the excess oil and let them drain on a rack.
- Repeat the process until all of the potatoes are parcooked.
- Raise the heat of the oil to 350 degrees F. Cook the potatoes again, two handfuls at a time, until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
- Remove the potatoes from the oil, shake off the excess oil, place in a bowl and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
- Repeat the process until all of the potatoes are cooked.
- Makes 8 servings.
