Start by preparing your meats; use 4 pounds of ground beef and 2 pounds of ground pork.

Trim excess fat from the sirloin steak and dice it into quarter to half-inch pieces.

Rub the diced steak with bone dust barbecue seasoning and let it sit in the fridge for about an hour to absorb flavors.

In a large pot, add the seasoned steak and cook it to extract the flavors from the spices.

Chop and add 3 onions, sweet red peppers, poblano peppers, and 6 diced jalapeños to the pot.

Add 1/2 cup of minced garlic to the mixture.

Include mushrooms for added texture, even though they are not traditional in chili.

Pour in 14-ounce cans of diced tomatoes and 3 tablespoons of liquid concentrated beef stock.

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.

Add hot root beer to enhance the flavor without watering down the chili.

Incorporate 2 tablespoons of chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce for a smoky flavor.

Let the chili simmer for about 45 minutes to allow all the flavors to meld together.

Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary, especially for salt and heat from the peppers.
