Supplies (things you need to cook with)

  • 4 QT Crock-Pot
  • Frying Pan
  • Cutting Board
  • Sharp Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Wooden Spoon

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb. bacon
  • 1 beer (IPA recommended, but any strong, hoppy beer should work)
  • 1 large onion (chopped)
  • 2 large green peppers (chopped)
  • 29 ounce can of tomato puree
  • 8 oz can of tomato sauce
  • 1 lb of stew meat or steak, cubed small
  • 1 lb of ground beef
  • 1 can pinto beans
  • 1 can kidney beans
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 tbs chili powder
  • 2 tsps cuman
  • 2 tsps red pepper
  • 2 tsps black pepper
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, chopped and seeded
  • dash of salt

Preparation

  • Fry the bacon extra crispy and set aside to cool. Once cool, crush into bits. Set aside. Alternatively, you can chop the bacon before you cook it, if that's easier for you.
  • Fry up the hamburger, with half of the peppers, onions, and garlic. Drain off extra grease. Put it all in the crockpot, but don't turn it on yet.
  • Fry up cubed steak with the other half of the peppers, onions, and garlic. Put it in the crockpot.
  • Turn on the crockpot, and let it simmer all day. Set it to low for 8 hours, or something like that. This recipe fills the 4 qt crock right up to the brim.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste. Prepared as described above, the recipe has a nice heat, but isn't painfully spicy.
