Steps:

• 1. Cook bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat 5 minutes or until browned. Stir in 2 cups onion; cover and cook until onion is tender (about 5 minutes). Uncover and stir in garlic; cook for 1 minute. 2. Increase heat to medium-high; add turkey and sirloin to pan. Cook 5 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Add beer; cook until liquid is reduced to 1/3 cup (about 7 minutes). Stir in chili powder and next 5 ingredients (through tomato sauce). Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes or until mixture thickens. Stir in beans; cook 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Ladle 1 cup chili into each of 6 bowls. Top each serving with 4 teaspoons cheese and 2 teaspoons onion. Serve with crackers, if desired.

Steps:

• All spoons are mounded measurements, but no higher than salt would form. All spices are GFS brand. There's a lot of difference in combination seasonings (cajun seasoning, chili powder and beef base) from one brand to the next. I order the 5 pound mylar bag of unflavored textured vegetable protein from motherearthproducts dot com. It's a quality product in all respects.
• Prepare the beans in a separate process.
• Simmer dried beans in a covered pot (with beef base, dried peppers, cumin, salt and garlic pwdr) for 2 to 3 hours in a one to two mix of tomato juice and water.
• Stir occasionally, adding more tomato juice/water mixture if needed.
• The cooked tender beans should be swimming in a generous amount of broth.
• Prepare the chilli by first rendering the suet in a little water on high heat in a 7 quart stew pot.
• Once rendered into liquid, allow to cool some before skimming off any foam and adding the ground round.
• On medium high heat, stir and mince until the meat's just fully cooked.
• On low heat, add the remaining (meat prep) ingredients and mix well.
• Finally, add your previously prepared beans and broth.
• Return to medium high heat and stir until the pot comes to a low boil.
• Set heat to warm and serve with oyster crackers and Tabasco sauce.
