The 'Ultimate' Chili

I work up this morning and it was a rainy day so I decided to create a comfort food to help warm up the day.


6 slices of bacon, chopped
2 lbs lean ground beef
2 medium onions, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 large yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 jalenpo, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 – 28oz can tomato pureé
1 – 14oz can tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups coffee
3 tbsp chili powder
2 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cayenne
1 tsp sea salt + sprinkle
1 tsp pepper + sprinkle

Sauté bacon in large dutch oven or soup pot and cook until bacon cooked and renders the bacon fat. Remove the bacon and leave the bacon fat. Add the onions and bell peppers to the bacon fat and sprinkle with salt and pepper, cook for about 5 minutes.

Add beef and garlic and cook until brown. About 7  minutes.

Add tomato pureé, tomato sauce, coffee and spices. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 1-2 hours. The longer it simmers the more the flavours will develop.

Enjoy!
