Usually I just grab a prepackaged 80/20 that’s a little over 1 lb)1/2 lb-ish thick-cut bacon, chopped (about 6 strips but fuck it man go wild if you want)1 can (15 oz) of each: light red kidney, black, pinto, beans drained. 1 can (15 oz) fire roasted diced tomatoes with juice1 small can (6 oz) tomato paste2 big ass shallots, chopped (you can use 1 regular onion, sweet or red, instead if you’re lame—just don’t use white onion)1 red bell pepper, chopped (orange is fine too I guess. Just don’t use green)1 big jalapeño, chopped. (Use a serrano if you need more heat and want people to think you’re interesting)2 and 1/2 cups beef stock (maybe 3. Keep an eye on your liquid levels and add more if you need it for your desired consistency)1 T dried oregano2 T chili powder2 t cumin2 t cinnamon 2 t kosher salt1 t ground black pepper1 t smoked paprika1 t crushed red pepper2 T Worcestershire sauce (only use Lea & Perrins unless you don’t respect yourself)1 T minced garlic (you can do more if you want. it’s garlic. Go crazy. No one will question you.)1 big squirt Siracusa (this is for a little extra flavor, not heat)brown ground beef. Drain. Dump into chili receptacle. Brown bacon in same pan. Give the chopped veg a quick sauté in the fatty bacon pan. Scrape everything (yes, all those good brown bits too) into your main Chili cooking receptacle. Add everything else and give it a good stir to combine.How to cook it all: Stock pot - low heat for a long ass time, cover, stir occasionallySlow cooker - low for 6 hrsInstant pot/Pressure cooker - chili setting, 15-20 mins. 19 seems to work well. Vent after and you’re good.Serve with sour cream, chopped scallions, cilantro, shredded cheddar and cornbread on the side
