Steps

1

Grab a 3+ quart pot at minimum. (preferably 4+ quart).
2

In your pot, brown the beef and pork together along with the onions. Drain off excess fat.
3

Add the kidney beans, the tomatoes and the jalapeños (optional) without draining the cans first and mix together. This is the liquid that the chili will stew in.
4

Mix in chili seasoning.
5

Bring to a boil. (About 5-10 minutes)
6

Simmer covered for 60-90 minutes. (I prefer around 90)
7

Serve and enjoy!
