Campfire Chili in a Dutch Oven

You can use any kind of relatively fatty meat with plenty of connective tissue in it such as beef short rib or chuck, pork shoulder, or lamb shoulder. The sausage can be any raw sausage you like the flavor of, or can be replaced with more stew meat. Stick with medium to small beans like kidney, cannellini, garbanzo, or navy. Store-bought chili powder can be used, but for best flavor, grind your own chile powder (or make a chile puree by cooking toasted chiles in water or chicken stock and blending).
