Spicy Chili
Ingredients
1 lbs bacon, chopped
2 whole onions, chopped
1 head garlic, separated peeled and sliced
2 chopped red peppers
3-5 heaping spoonfuls chili powder
2 lbs ground beef
2 28 oz cans whole tomatoes
1 19 oz can black beans
1 19 oz can kidney beans
Salt and Pepper
2 whole onions, chopped
1 head garlic, separated peeled and sliced
2 chopped red peppers
3-5 heaping spoonfuls chili powder
2 lbs ground beef
2 28 oz cans whole tomatoes
1 19 oz can black beans
1 19 oz can kidney beans
Salt and Pepper
Instructions
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and add bacon. Add a splash of water and let the bacon render it’s fat. As the water evaporates, the bacon will brown. Pour off excess fat and add the onions, garlic and peppers. Cook until they are softened and just beginning to caramelize. Add chili powder and ground beef and stir well, chopping the beef up with a wooden spoon. Add tomatoes and beans and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for an hour. If you have a chance, make this a day in advance and reheat when needed. The flavours will brighten and meld as it rests overnight.

Thanks for the recipe! Tried this tonight. I added a little kick with Sriracha Hot Sauce ;)
In the above chilli recipe you make no mention of browning the ground beef is that because you cook it as is
Hi Michael,
Love your show, no fluff just good ideas. Was wondering if your own Chili Powder mix recipe is available. I just watched your show on the guys coming for a card game and Chili and Chicken wing salad (amazing idea).
thanks

Hello Michael,
I was hoping to find the recipe for Chili that I saw on your show this morning. You made it along with Hungarian goulash and lot of wonderful fruit crisps, ie. apple an raspberry and banana and mango. My mouth was watering even early in the morning. If you could direct me to find that chili recipe, I would so appreciate it!
I am one of your fans!
Best regards,
Myreene

I added a tbsp of Jerk Seasoning to my last batch of chili–not bad.
