| 1 lb ground sirloin |
|
1 lb ground beef |
| ½ lb thick cut bacon |
|
1 pkg mild or hot chili season mix |
| 1 pkg Original Chili season mix |
|
1-16 oz can Red Beans (or chili beans) |
| 2-16 oz cans Seasoned Diced tomato sauce |
|
salt & pepper |
| paprika |
|
chipotle hot sauce (optional) |
| hot sauce |
|
¼ c. sugar |
| ¼ c. dark brown sugar |
|
|
1. Add red beans & tomatoes to a large pot. Set to low. Brown ground sirloin in a skillet on medium-high. Add salt & pepper to season. Just a little bit, be sensible.
2. Now is the good part. Take a couple of pinches of your sugar & add to the browning sirloin. Do the same with the brown sugar. If there is a good amount of fat/grease, drain. Leave a little to help with the chili mix.
3. Add the Original Chili season mix to the ground sirloin. Add to the pot with red beans & tomatoes.
4. In a skillet, brown the ground beef. Once again add salt & pepper, pinches of brown & regular sugar.
5. Take chipotle hot sauce & regular hot sauce & add a couple of shakes around the browning beef. (How much you add here determines the real hotness of the chili. None to little for just a sweet & mild chili or more for sweet & hot, & a good amount like me for the real sweet & fire in your mouth!!)
6. Keep the fat/grease & add to pot with red beans, tomatoes, & ground sirloin. Add mild/hot chili seasoning. Slice the bacon into smaller bite sized pieces.
7. In skillet take the thick sliced bacon pieces & cook in previous fat/grease that is left & the seasoning. As the bacon is cooking, add the rest of the sugars to the pot with everything else. When the bacon is finished, add to pot & let simmer.
8. Enjoy with saltine crackers.
