Preheat your oven to 250 degrees. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Once the pot is hot, add ground beef and chorizo (casing removed) cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally then add onions, pepper, garlic and jalapeno. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes before adding tomatoes, tomato sauce, green chiles and beans. Add all spices and vinegar, stir then cover with a lid and place in the oven. Cook for 4-6 hours, stirring throughout the day if you can. Top with cheddar cheese, green onions and sour cream, if desired. Enjoy.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees (you can also use stove top or crock-pot). Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add stew meat and onion then cook for about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds before adding tomatoes, seasonings and beef broth. Cover and cook in the oven for at least 3-4 hours, checking occasionally to make sure there is enough liquid. Remove pot from oven place on stove top over medium low heat.

One of the perks of having a food blog is getting to try new products. I was sent a couple of bottles of Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce recently and decided to marinate some flank steak in it. I lightly seasoned the steak with sea salt and pepper, rubbed some minced garlic into the meat then drizzled it with Country Bob's sauce. I let it sit in a large zip lock for 4 hours before cooking it in my grill pan. I have to say - I LOVE THIS SAUCE. It's really flavorful with a hint of sweet and spicy without being overpowering. The steak tasted amazing and we all loved it. My kids both asked for seconds and ate every last bite. I look forward to using this sauce with hamburgers, chicken and pork. Thanks for the great sauce.
