Pineapple Chili

8 to 10 slices of bacon, cut into thin strips

1 large onion, diced

1 bell peppers, diced

2 jalapeños, diced (seeds optional)

4 cloves fresh garlic, minced

2 pounds grass fed ground beef

1/4 cup chili powder

2 teaspoons ground cumin

red pepper flakes (optional)

sea salt to taste

black pepper to taste

1 (20-ounce) can of diced pineapple

1 (15-ounce) can of tomato sauce

1 (14-ounce) can of fire roasted diced tomatoes

There are two methods to make this: stove and crockpot. I personally always make it in the crockpot as it involves less work and is ready by the time I get home from work. Here are the two methods:

Stove
Preheat a large Stock Pot or Dutch Oven over medium heat. Brown your thin strips of bacon in your pan

Add in your onions, peppers, jalapeños, and garlic and continue to cook, stirring often for 5 minutes or until your onions become translucent. Now add in your Grass fed Ground Beef, chili powder, and cumin and stir until your ground beef is cooked through Add in all your remaining ingredients, stir well, and increase heat until your chili comes to a boil Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 Minutes

Crockpot

Brown your bacon in a saute pan and then place in your crockpot. Saute your ground beef in the bacon fat until cooked through and then add to your crockpot with all the remaining ingredients. Cook on low for 6 - 8 hours and enjoy!
