DIRECTIONS:
Before preparing vegetables, mix together salt, baking soda and water. Thoroughly toss with ground beef and pork in a medium bowl. Set aside for 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 300°F
Prep your vegetables then pulse 2/3 can of the diced tomatoes into a food processor (reserving 1/3 of the can of tomatoes to the side) until relatively smooth.
Heat oil in a dutch oven over medium heat. Cook peppers for 2 minutes then add onion and garlic. Cook an additional 3 minutes. Add beef and pork and cook until meat has browned (no need to drain fat). Stir in Blackberry-chipotle seasoning and cook an additional minute, stirring constantly.
Add the remaining ingredients, turn heat to medium-high and bring to slight boil. Cover pot and carefully transfer to preheated oven. Cook for 1.5 hours.
Chili will appear a little watery but will thicken slightly as it cools.
