For an even deeper flavor, try browning the ground chuck and Italian sausage in a cast-iron skillet. Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder, cayenne pepper, and hot pepper sauce to your preferred level of spiciness. A dark beer such as a stout or porter will add a richer, more complex flavor to the chili. If you don't have fresh green chile peppers, you can substitute with a can of diced green chilies. The chili can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. The flavors will continue to meld and improve over time.
