Award Winning Four Meat Chili with Beans

Carne Diem Culinary
This ain't your grandma's chili. This is an award winning, four-meat masterpiece in a pot. We're talking ground beef for the classic base, of course. But then comes the good stuff: chunks of smoky, slow-cooked brisket that melt in your mouth, spicy chorizo for a kick, salty bacon, and finally, chunks of tender steak. It's a symphony of savory, a protein powerhouse that'll stick to your ribs and warm you from the inside out. This chili is for those who crave a truly meaty masterpiece.
