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

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.
In the same pot, drizzle about a tablespoon of the reserved bacon grease and sauté the diced peppers and onion. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder and cook until translucent and tender, about 5-8 minutes.

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.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of beef: Flank steak or skirt steak are good choices for this recipe. They are relatively inexpensive and cook quickly.
Slice the beef against the grain: This will help the beef cook evenly and make it more tender.
Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger will help tenderize it and add flavor.
Cook the beef over high heat: This will help to caramelize the beef and give it a slightly crispy exterior.
Don't overcook the beef: Overcooked beef will be tough and chewy. Cook it just until it is cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
Use a good quality sweet and tangy chile sauce: This is the key to getting the right flavor in this dish. Look for a sauce that has a good balance of sweet and sour flavors.
Serve the beef with rice or noodles: This dish is traditionally served with rice or noodles. You can also serve it with vegetables or a salad.

Conclusion:

Sweet and tangy chile beef is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and can be served with a variety of sides. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook beef, give this recipe a try.
