Larkin Family Chile

I've made this probably 2 dozen times. Really, really good.

Ingredients:
Part 1
24 oz. beer
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon sage
1 TBSP cumin
4 TBSP chili powder
3 lbs. ground beef
Part 2
3 TBSP. A-1 sauce
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 TBSP soy sauce
1 large can chopped tomatos
1 12 oz. can tomato paste
1/3 cup cornmeal
4-5 cloves garlic
7-8 ounces canned diced chilis
1.5 lbs. pork cubed (I usually get boneless pork chops)
2 diced jalapenos (tune the spice level up or down by leaving the ribs on, but then this will be very spicy)

*For serving, cheddar cheese, sour cream, fritos (serve on bed of fritos, it works)
Directions
Part 1
1. Brown and drain 3 lbs. ground beef
2. Place ground beef in a large pot and add other part 1 ingredients (I use the same pot to brown the meat and then to make the chili)
3. Blend this well, cover & simmer for 2 hours, stirring periodically

Part 2
1. After 2 hours, add Part II ingredients
2. Simmer this for 3 additional hours, stirring periodically
3. Serve over bed of fritos w/ sour cream, shredded cheese on top

Goes great with Caribbean Corn bread recipe.
