2 pounds lean ground beef
1 pound sweet Italian sausage
1 large bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, small diced
2-4 jalapeno peppers, ribs and seeds removed, small diced
1 sweet onion, small diced
3 cups V-8 Spicy Hot Vegetable Juice
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1 28-ounce can of whole tomatoes, drained and chopped
1 can dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
4 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon molasses
1-2 teaspoons sriracha, to taste
1/2 pound of bacon, chopped and fried
kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, chili powder, ground cumin, and garlic powder, to taste

Steps:

  • In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Reserve the bacon grease for later.
  • In a large Dutch oven, brown the beef and sausage over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper. Drain the grease and set the meat aside.

  • Cover and simmer over low heat for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Add the bacon in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
