Mackie's Chili Nugget Markets

Made with beef, bacon, and three kinds of beans, this champion chili is great for game day and meal planning alike!

Ingredients

  • 6 strips thick-cut bacon
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1½ pounds ground beef
  • 1 can (15 ounces) kidney beans, drained
  • 1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, drained
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained
  • 1 can (15 ounces) fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 6 ounces tomato paste
  • 1 jalapeño, minced
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • Shredded cheese, for topping
  • Cilantro leaves, for topping

Preparation

In a large pot, cook the bacon until crisp, stirring often. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate until cool, then chop and reserve.

Add the onion and bell pepper to the same pot and cook until tender. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, then drain off any excess fat.

Add remaining ingredients and ¾ of the reserved bacon, then stir to combine. Simmer for 1–2 hours.

Serve chili with shredded cheese, cilantro, and the remaining bacon.
