Texas Chili With All the Fixin's Recipe

Directions:

1. Heat the oil in a large 8-quart-heavy bottomed stockpot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 7-10 minutes.
2. Add in the chili powder, paprika, cumin, and oregano and stir until the spices are well combined.
3. Add in the ground beef, sausage and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Increase heat to medium-high and cook the meat, stirring frequently, until cooked through, 8-10 minutes.
4. Stir in remaining ingredients. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour. Adjust the seasonings with more salt or chipoltle chiles if necessary. Serve with any or all of the suggested fixin's.
5. Fixin's: Grated Sharp Cheddar, Chopped Green Onion, Sour Cream, Crumbled Corn Chips, Red Pepper Flakes, Chopped Jalapeno Chiles.
6. Note: You can find canned chipoltle chiles in adobo sauce (smoked jalapenos in a thick red sauce) in supermarkets and Latino specialty markets.
