directions
- Fry bacon in a heavy pot till crisp and the fat is rendered.
- Remove and reserve bacon.
- Pour off most of the bacon fat into a heavy cast iron skillet, leaving a small amount in the pot.
- Brown the meat and garlic in the skillet.
- Saute onions in the fat remaining in the pot until soft.
- Add the meat, bacon, ground chilies, dried spices, the sauces, green chilies, Jalapenos, chipotle, beer and tomatoes.
- Simmer for two hours.
- Add remaining seasonings and sauces during cooking, as you check and stir.
- Make sure last ingredients are added with at least one hour of cooking time remaining.
- Allow the chili to sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours to give the spices a chance to intensify.
- It is okay to serve it right off the stove, but it is almost always better as leftovers.
