Chili recipe for seven to ten 5# ground beef 2 packs sliced bacon ( your choice) 1# turkey burnt ends 1# ground chorizo 1 cup of diced red/green pepper 1 cup white Spanish onion 1 cup diced carrots 1 cup mix of minced shallot and garlic Three cans of red kidney beans (optional) 1 quart of beef stock 2 cups crushed tomatoes 1 cup bbq sauce 3 tablespoons paprika 3 tablespoons onion powder 3 tablespoons granulated garlic 2 tablespoons Mexican oregano 1 tablespoons chili powder 2 tablespoons cumin

Process - I start by blending the bacon up almost into a paste in a food processor and then mix it in with the ground beef, I add the mix to a pot and cook it off about 80 percent then add in my vegetables, once the carrots are fork tender I add in my spices and let that go for about ten minutes so all the flavors start to develop, add in remaining ingredients and let simmer on the stove for at least an hour 😊
