How To Make chili

  • 1
    Before you begin you will need to peel your tomatoes. This can be easily done by placing them in boiling water until the skins begin to break. I have used canned tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes.
  • 2
    In a 4 quart kettle or Dutch oven, cook the sausage and beef over medium heat, until the meat is no longer pink; drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings. Set meat aside.
  • 3
    Sauté onion, peppers and garlic in the reserved drippings for 3 minutes. Add the broth, Worchestershire sauce and seasonings; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • 4
    Add tomatoes, bacon, and browned sausage and beef; return to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • 5
    Add all of the beans. Simmer for one hour, stirring occasionally. Garnish with chopped onion if desired.
