If you're craving an authentic texas-style chili, this recipe will fit the bill. This meaty chili includes pork and beef, along with a variety of chile peppers and seasonings. Dried chile peppers are soaked and pureed, but if you don't have dried chile peppers, use a good quality ground chile in the dish. Chili powder contains cumin and oregano along with other spices, so if you substitute chili powder for the ground chile, reduce the amount of cumin and oregano. Taste as you season. The best cuts to use are beef chuck and pork shoulder because they become tender and flavorful over a long period of cooking.
