Ingredients
- A package of savory bacon weighing one pound
- Three pounds of freshly ground beef
- Fragrant minced garlic, four cloves
- Rich red wine, two cups
- Diced tomatoes from three large cans, each 28 ounces
- Tomato sauce from two cans, each 14 ounces
- Vegetable oil, two teaspoons
- Three vibrant green bell peppers, chopped
- Four stalks of celery, finely chopped
- Onions, two in number, chopped
- Kidney beans, rinsed and drained, from two cans weighing 19 ounces each
- White beans, rinsed and drained, from two cans weighing 19 ounces each
- Black beans, rinsed and drained, from a can weighing 19 ounces
- Chili powder, six tablespoons
- Brown sugar, a quarter cup
- Ground cumin, a quarter cup
- Paprika, three tablespoons
- Italian seasoning, two tablespoons
- Distilled white vinegar, two tablespoons
- Dried basil, two tablespoons
- Dried minced onion, two tablespoons
- Dried parsley, three tablespoons
- Crushed red pepper flakes, two tablespoons
- Oregano, four teaspoons of dried leaves
- Hot pepper sauce (like Tabasco®), twelve dashes
- Salt and black pepper, a pinch of each
Step 1
In a spacious skillet, lay out the bacon strips and cook over medium-high heat. Make sure to give them a turn every so often until they achieve a beautiful, even brown hue, which should take around 10 minutes. Once done, let the crispy bacon bits rest on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil and then crumble them up for later use.
Step 2
Next, grab a large stockpot and place it over medium-high heat. Begin by sautéing and breaking apart the ground beef until it's nicely browned, crumbly, and free of any pink hues. Drain off any excess grease and then combine the cooked bacon and minced garlic into the pot. Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the red wine, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce for a flavorful base.
Step 3
Meanwhile, heat up some vegetable oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Toss in the green bell peppers, celery, and diced onions, stirring occasionally until the onions turn soft and translucent, which should take about 5 minutes. Add this fragrant mix to the stockpot, increase the heat to medium-high, and bring everything to a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Introduce a variety of beans - kidney, white, and black beans - into the pot, along with a plethora of seasonings like chili powder, brown sugar, cumin, paprika, Italian seasoning, vinegar, basil, dried minced onion, parsley, red pepper flakes, oregano, hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper. Let this flavorful concoction simmer on medium-low heat for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to meld all the delicious flavors together.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. First things first, make sure to store your chili in an airtight container to keep all those delicious flavors locked in.
- 2. If you have any leftover chili, consider freezing it in individual portions for quick and easy meals on busy days.
