Hearty beef and bacon chili with sweet brown sugar to tame the fiery kick. Made with two types of beans for extra flavor.
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound ground beef, or more to taste
  • 1 onion, chopped, or more to taste
  • 1 pound bacon
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, undrained, or more to taste
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans baked beans, undrained, or more to taste
  • 1 (28 ounce) can diced stewed tomatoes, or more to taste
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons barbeque rub (such as Great American Spice Co.™ Pit Master)
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon habanero-based hot sauce (such as Backdraft Fire Sauce®)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
Instructions:
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the ground beef and onion until browned, for 5 to 8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
  • In a large skillet, sizzle bacon over medium-high heat, flipping occasionally, until perfectly crispy for about 10 minutes. Then, drain and chop into delightful pieces.
  • In a large pot, mix together the beef, bacon, kidney beans, baked beans, tomatoes, brown sugar, barbeque rub, chili powder, hot sauce, and garlic powder. Let it simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until bubbling, for 2 to 3 hours. Once done, set aside to cool for about 30 minutes before serving.
  • Chill chili in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
  • Gently warm chili on low heat, stirring occasionally, for a minimum of 4 hours prior to serving.
