This robust American-style chili is a true crowd-pleaser, packed with a rich blend of ground beef, pork, and spicy Italian sausage. The deep, savory flavors develop over hours of low and slow cooking, creating a thick, comforting stew that is ideal for watching the Daytona 500 or any big game. The combination of V-8 juice, stewed tomatoes, and a hint of cornmeal for thickening results in a unique texture that holds up well to reheating. It’s a no-fuss, high-protein main dish that brings the heat and satisfies the whole family.
