In a large pan over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and pork, breaking up into small pieces as it cooks. When most of the way cooked, added the onion, celery, and bell pepper. Continue cooking until the meat is fully cooked.
Add the garlic and tomato paste and stir well.
Transfer the meat mixture to a 3-quart stockpot. Add all of the remaining ingredients (except the cheese). Stir well to combine. Place the lid on the pot and cook over medium low heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Remove the lid from the pot, simmer the chili on low for up to an additional hour, stirring occasionally. Top with shredded cheese and any additional toppings you desire.
