Steps

1

In a dry pan, toast all of the peppers, and whole spices until EXTREMELY fragrant. Add to a food processor/blender and add the powdered spices.
2

Blend until a fine powder forms. Store for up to 3 months.
3

For the chili: sear the sausage (no casings please) and ground beef until well browned. Add the garlic and onion, cook for about 2-3 minutes. Add the spice blend (to taste) and toast for about one minute.
4

Add the beer, Worcestershire, and chicken broth. Scrape the bottom of the pan until nothing is sticking.
5

Add the tomato paste, tomatoes, and beans. Stir to combine.
6

Cover (with the lid slightly ajar) and cook for anywhere from 1- 4 hours. While it cooks, stir, and skim any fat from the top.
7

Serve with green onions, shredded white cheddar, sour cream, and a lime wedge. (I used lime cilantro sour cream)
