Ground Beef Chili With Chipotle Food

GROUND BEEF CHILI WITH CHIPOTLE

Steps:

• Preheat a 3 quart dutch oven or large sauce pan over medium heat. Add olive oil and allow to heat up and slightly smoke.
• Add bacon and stir frequently over medium heat until the bacon starts to get crispy, about 6 - 8 minutes.
• After bacon is slightly crispy, add the ground beef, salt and pepper and stir over medium heat. It will sizzle at first and as you stir it will temper the heat. Continue cooking the beef, stirring in the bacon fat an additional 6 - 8 minutes or until browned. If the heat isn't high enough it won't brown. After it is browned, place the lid on the dutch oven and drain the excess liquid from the pot.
• Slightly reduce the heat and add onions, yellow and jalapeño peppers. Stir for 5 - 7 minutes or until they soften.
• Add the remaining ingredients, stir to incorporate, and let come to a simmer. Cover and simmer for an additional 30 minutes, stir occasionally. The chili will thicken as it simmers.
