How To Make bacon chili
-
Step 1In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, cook bacon over medium low to medium heat, stirring, until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Drain all but 1 Tablespoon bacon grease (don't throw it away- save it to make cornbread, or use in place of oil when browning meat, etc.)
-
Step 2Brown ground beef with onions. Drain.
-
Step 3Add remaining ingredients and bacon- mix well. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer on low for 20-25 minutes. Serve with frito chips, or cornbread, and top with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, or any of your favorite chili toppings. Note: This makes a thick chili, so if you want add tomatoes or other liquid to thin it out. - Last Step: Don't forget to share!
