Instructions
In a large Dutch oven or stockpot, heat over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef and pork sausage, cooking until browned and crumbled, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the diced yellow onion, red bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Mix in the tomato paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes to enhance its flavor.
Pour in the fire-roasted diced tomatoes and beef stock. Stir to combine.
Add the kidney beans and black beans to the pot, followed by the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, oregano, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and gently simmer for 60-75 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Stir in the lime juice just before serving.
Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese as desired.
