Cook
Add the bacon grease in a cast iron dutch oven and heat. Sauté the onions until translucent, then add the SPG, garlic and diced/minces chipotles and all the adobe sauce. Mix well and let cook for ~5 minutes.
Add the browned and drained beef and chorizo/sausage. We like to leave it broken into bigger pieces with some nice browning.
Add the Texas Chili seasoning and mix well.
Pour in all 84-ounces of tomatoes, and mix well.
Allow to simmer (on the stove top, grill, or over a fire) for 4-6 hours. Optionally, everything can be added to a slow cooker and let run on low all day!
Garnish with your favorites. We like Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, green onions, and oyster crackers!
*We have nothing against beans! If you want to add them, go ahead. You can also substitute cooked brisket or cubed chuck for some of the beef!
