You could call it pulled pork with an attitude!
Chilli was traditionally a meat dish served on cattle drives and did not contain beans.
If we are going down this rabbit hole , its not Mexican at all , Chili was invented by the Texas prison system as a way to make almost rotten beef palatable. Bury the bad taste in spice. And it had no beans.
Me, I like to buy ground pork, medium beef and the cheapest spicey sausage I can find, sausage gets taken out of casings and with the other meats , browned up , taken out / set aside. Brown diced onions till translucent and throw in some garlic, DO NOT burn the garlic. Meat back in pot , add two cans diced tomatoes. one can Kidney beans, one can white navy beans , maybe two cans to get bean / meat ratio looking right. then a handful of cummin, black pepper , salt and chili powder. as it sits all day , the salt will gets soaked into beans and the salty taste goes away. You can add more at finish, if its not powerful enough , throw in more chili powder.
There is no skill in making chili Holy F hot, any idiot can do that, its suppoosed to be a flavour not a pain.
