Bacon Chili
Posted by Raven on October 14th, 2007
Cooler days are here in my area. I like to use my crock pots for cooking on the weekends- and most other times too. I have dozens of recipes for CHILI.
This is very good and hearty and quite filling! AND EASY to make. I cooked the ground beef and bacon Friday afternoon and just threw it all into the crock pot this morning before leaving for work. When I get home tonight it’ll be all ready to eat. I sprinkle shredded taco cheese on top and let it melt…mmmm GOOD!
A lot of people like corn bread with their chili- we like sourdough rolls better.
4 pounds Ground beef
1 lb Bacon
3 tablespoon Shortening
2 cups Chopped onion
2 Garlic cloves; crushed
4 tablespoons Chili powder
3 Beef bouillon cubes; crushed
1 ½ teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Oregano
1 teaspoon Ground cumin
½ teaspoon Cayenne pepper
½ cup Beef stock
1 can Tomatoes; 28 ozs.
1 can Tomato paste; 8 oz.
4 cans Red kidney beans; 1 lb cans
Heat shortening in skillet and brown beef, discard fat. Fry up the bacon or cook as desired (microwave, oven…) Cut strips in half lengthwise.
Combine all ingredients in removable liner, stirring well. Place liner in base. Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours; high 4-5 hours.

Hi, Raven, snagged your recipe. AoW mentioned it, so I thought I’d pop over.
Interesting how they can’t leave you alone, even on a recipe post…:roll:

Right Rev- they make 6 QUART crock pots- Rival- get one at Wal Mart. I use a commercial (food service) size unit that I purchased through my employer (a rehab facility). I also own four other pots of various sizes for my side dishes.

Thanks for coming by mw-
It’s excellent- this recipe. But…I must warn you- its not at all healthy. In fact its downright unhealthy. Real comfort food. Real good. Especially after working 16 hour days.

It’s not Chili if it has beans, it’s stew.
