Measure	Ingredient
¾ pounds	Beef chuck roast, cut into 1 inch cubes
¾ pounds	Pork loin or shoulder roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 large	Onion, chopped
1 large	Green bell pepper, chopped
1	Clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons	Olive oil, divided
2 cans	Whole tomatoes (16-ounce Cans), undrained and chopped
2 cans	Chopped green chiles (4 1/2 ounce cans), undrained

	Wine)
1 cup	Commercial salsa
¼ cup	Chopped fresh cilantro
2	Beef bouillon cubes
1 tablespoon	Brown sugar
3 tablespoons	Lemon juice
	Hot cooked rice

Combine the beef, pork, onion, green pepper and garlic. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large Dutch oven and cook half of the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until browned.

Remove from the Dutch oven and set aside. Repeat the procedure with the remaining oil and the rest of the meat mixture.

Combine all of the meat mixture with the tomatoes, chiles, Burgundy, salsa, chopped cilantro, bouillon cubes, brown sugar and lemon juice.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the meat is tender, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Serve the chili over hot cooked rice. Garnish with fresh sprigs of cilantro, if desired.

Makes 11 cups.
