Three-Bean, Three-Meat, & Three-Pepper Chili 

• 1 lb ground pork
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 lb ground chicken
• 6 cups chicken stock
• 4 jalapeno peppers, diced
• 2 poblano peppers, diced
• 4 bell peppers, diced
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 32 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 1 (15-ounce) can red kidney beans
• 1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans
• 1 (15-ounce) can black beans 
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1/2 tablespoon cumin
• 1/2 tablespoon oregano
• salt and pepper, to taste
• *optional* cilantro, radishes, lime wedges, and sour cream, to garnish

Time to start making this delicious, protein-packed chili! Start by heating about 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add in onions. Saute until translucent, then add in all three peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Once the peppers have slightly softened, add in ground beef, ground pork, and ground chicken. Season with more salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, oregano, and garlic powder. Once the meats are browned, pour in chicken stock, and crushed tomatoes. Reduce heat to medium. Let come to a boil, stirring occasionally. Add in all three beans and continue simmering for at least 20 minutes. Serve with a dollop of sour cream, chopped cilantro, a lime wedge, and sliced radishes. Enjoy!
