ALL AMERICAN COUNTY FAIR PRIZE WINNING CHILI

Steps:

• Put ALL ingredients in a pot and cook for 5 to 10 hours.
• Stir occasionally.
• Put the chili and jalapeno peppers in last with their stems sticking up out of the chili. This makes them easy to remove for those who don't want their chili hot!
• The ingredients list is enough to make 2 pots worth (dutch oven size).
• I usually omit the meat from one pot and make a vegetarian batch at the same time. It's good for your vegan friends and as lighter fare for lunch!
• **All amounts are approximate. Use what is convenient, available and adjust to taste.
• **The meat can go into the pot raw with all the other ingredients. It will cook right along with them and be more flavourful and tender as a result - especially the steak. I am so happy you like this chili! Thank you for the great reviews! Enjoy!

PRIZE WINNING CHILI, GREAT FLAVOR, NOT TOO HOT!

Steps:

• 1. brown first 7 ingredients, separate off grease, I have to do it in 3 batches, too much for one frying pan.
• 2. mean time fry the bacon and let cool, crumble. Add the drippings and crumbles to crock pot.
• 3. mean time add all the other ingredients to crock pot, put on high heat. Add the bacon and the three batches of browned ingredients as they are done.
• 4. I don't have a huge crock pot so I have to start out in a big Dutch oven until it has simmered down for a while then transfer to a crock pot to continue to simmer for many hours until you get the consistency that you like. I like a thick chili. As you can see from the photo that the center of the picture is sitting above the rest of the pot. That is in the ball park of 6 hours on low heat or 4 hour at high heat. If you use he high heat or continue to cook in the dutch oven keep stirred so you don't burn the bottom.
