Original Recipe Yield 12 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 3/4 cup chili powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 3/4 cup dry red wine
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, ground pork, chili powder, oregano, garlic, salt, red wine and vinegar. I find that using my hands works the best. Cover, and refrigerate for 2 to 3 days. Take out daily, and mix thoroughly.
  2. If you are not going to cook with it immediately, divide it into 1 to 2 pound portions, and store in freezer bags in the freezer.
