Assemble the meat grinder
attachment fitted with the coarse
grinding plate. Attach meat grinder
to the stand mixer. Turn the stand
mixer to speed 5 and grind the beef
and pork into a mixing bowl. Grind
a slice of bread last to get any
remaining meat through the grinder.
Heat half the olive oil over medium
high heat in a 6-quart (5.7L) Dutch
oven/stockpot until it covers
the bottom of the pan and is
shimmering. Add a third of the
ground meats, and cook without
turning until nicely browned, about
3 to 4 minutes; turn and brown on
the other side. Transfer to a plate
and repeat with the remaining meat
until all is browned. Pour off and
discard excess rendered fat.
Reduce heat to low and add
remaining olive oil. Add onion and
garlic, cooking until vegetables are
softened and translucent. Add the
peppers, chili powder, and oregano,
and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until
the peppers begin to soften and
the spices are fragrant. Stir in the
reserved browned meat, tomatoes
with juices, tomato paste, chipotle
chile(s) with sauce, and salt. Raise
the heat to high, add the stock and
bring to a boil. Reduce the heat
to low, cover loosely and simmer
