Viewed: 48 - Published at: a year agoIngredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 package bacon
- 1 28 oz can diced tomatoes
- 1 can (regular) red kidney beans
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1/2 red onion chopped
- 1 jalepeno chopped
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tbs kosher salt (regular will work too, also can be subbed for seasoning salt)
- 1 tsp franks hot sauce
- 1 tbs liquid smoke
- 2 tbs brown sugar
- 4 oz whiskey (jack daniels works well)
Method
- Saute onions and jalepeno together in large pot until soft, then turn to low and add the can of tomatoes, beans, liquid smoke, and brown sugar. Let simmer.
- In fry pan, cook entire package of bacon (4-5 strips at a time, it takes a while). Once cooked crisp, chop/crumble bacon and add to the chili pot.
- KEEP BACON GREASE. Cook the lb of ground beef in the bacon grease and add cumin and chili powder. Also, add franks hot sauce to the meat. Brown for approx 7-10 minutes depending on the size of the pan. Add this to the chili pot.
- Final step, add four shots of whiskey to the mix and stir it in. Add a shake of more cumin or chili powder to taste. Season with remaining salt to taste. Simmer on low for one hour.
- I refrigerated overnight and simmered it for another hour the next day before serving. Letting it sit overnight allowed all the flavors to set in.
- Any suggestions or additions for next time? I love feedback and opinions!
