When the weather cools down the first thing I'm making is chili. I'm always on the lookout for a new recipe and when I saw this one from Loveless Café here in Tennessee I had to try it. I tweaked it a little according to what I like and the ingredients I had, so feel free to do the same and enjoy!

Categories     Chili

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 lb bacon, chopped
1 lb ground beef
1 onion, diced
1 1/2 c pinto beans, cooked
1 can(s) small chili beans, undrained
1 can(s) (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 c salsa- your choice
1 Tbsp chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, cook bacon over medium low to medium heat, stirring, until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Drain all but 1 Tablespoon bacon grease (don't throw it away- save it to make cornbread, or use in place of oil when browning meat, etc.)
  • 2. Brown ground beef with onions. Drain.
  • 3. Add remaining ingredients and bacon- mix well. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer on low for 20-25 minutes. Serve with frito chips, or cornbread, and top with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, or any of your favorite chili toppings. Note: This makes a thick chili, so if you want add tomatoes or other liquid to thin it out.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chili turned out great. It was a little spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.
