In a heavy bottomed stock pot or rondeau, add olive oil, bacon, chorizo, and render until crispy. Remove and set aside keeping the rendered fat in the pot.
Turn the heat to medium-high and sear the ground beef and cook in the bacon fat.
Meanwhile form a paste with all the spices, cornmeal, and water.
Add the diced onion and garlic and cook until translucent. Add the chili paste and continue to cook until fragrant.
Add the honey lager beer and reduce by 1/3.
Add beef broth, bacon bits and crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, and whisk well scraping up all the bits from the bottom of the pot.
Bring to a simmer. Cover and cook with lid slightly ajar. Cook for 2-3 hours until the sauce has nicely thickened.
