Good job on entering the recipe into the cookbook. ;)

Yeah, Ox doesn't like the GatorChatter Recipes for some reason.
BNAG8R’S Chili
I bring this to the last tailgate of the season. Simple but yum.
Medium green pepper
Medium yellow onion
3 garlic cloves
1 seranno pepper chopped
3/4 lb ground sirloin
3/4 lb ground pork (or bison or lamb)
3 slices uncured bacon
3+ tbsp Chili powder (I’ll do 1 tbsp dark chili powder)
28 oz can chopped tomatoes
4 oz can tomato paste
1 beer (Corona is my choice)
2 cans beans (black beans + kidney or pinto)
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne
Salt and pepper to taste
Shredded cheese
Sour cream
Your favorite hot sauce
Prep:
Put bacon in freezer for 10 min to harden
chop green pepper and onion (1/4 to 1/2”)
Fine chop garlic
Chop bacon 1/2”
Mix meat
In an 8 quart pot over medium heat, cook the bacon down retaining half (or more) of bacon grease. Add garlic to grease, sauté, and then add onions and green peppers with seranno pepper and sauté to medium crisp. Move veggies to side, and brown meat in open side of pot, mixing meat and veggies together 1/2 way through browning. When nearly browned, add chili powder, cumin, cayenne, salt and pepper and finish browning. Drain tomatoes and add, together with beans, and tomato paste (I don’t add the whole can, makes it too tomatoey) and stir. Continuing to stir, add beer. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for at least an hour. Add more beer while simmering to preferred consistency.
Garnish with cheese, hot sauce, and a dollop of sour cream.
I’ll eat it after an hour of simmering, but the longer the simmer, the more flavorful - I’ll usually make it up in the morning and eat mid-afternoon. It’s better again the next day.
