I just won "First Place" at a country fair with this recipe. The fresh tomatoes and chili peppers give it a fresh and pleasant taste.

Provided by Jim Trebilcox

Categories     Weeknight

Time 10h20m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb bacon, cut up in small chunks
4 lbs ground beef
4 (1 lb) cans canned kidney beans
28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes (Hunts has them spiced for chili)
12 ounces tomato paste
2 onions, finely chopped
4 ounces chili powder
4 ounces cayenne pepper (dry powder)
2 (10 ounce) cans beef broth
2 fresh tomatoes
2 jalapeno peppers or 2 serrano peppers
3 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon oregano
1 1/2 tablespoons paprika

Steps:

  • Fry the bacon until it starts to brown, then put it into the crock pot.
  • In the bacon drippings, brown the ground beef.
  • Put the ground beef, beans, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, onions, chili powder (In Southern California we have a great variety available, but Gebhardt's would work), and the cayenne into the crock pot with the beef broth.
  • Cut the stems off the fresh jalapenos and cut them in two or three chunks.
  • place the peppers along with the garlic and whole fresh tomatoes into a food processor and puree the three ingredients.
  • Put this into the crock pot, stir to mix and let it all cook for 10-12 hours on low or 5-6 hours on high.
  • By making a puree out to of the peppers and garlic, you get a more evenly dispersed blend.
  • I used the tomatoes to give some moisture to the puree.
  • Serrano chilies are three times hotter than jalapenos so don't let their small size fool you.
