We often have chili cook-offs at our church, so we trade lots of different recipes. This is one of them.
Ingredients:
1 pound sliced bacon, diced
2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
2 medium onions, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 cup barbecue sauce
1 cup chili sauce
1/2 cup honey
4 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon baking cocoa
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder, optional
3 cans (16 ounces each) light kidney beans, rinsed and drained
shredded cheddar cheese
Directions:
1. In a large Dutch oven, cook bacon until crisp; remove to paper towels to drain. Reserve 3 tablespoons drippings.
2. Brown beef in drippings. Add onion and garlic; cook until onions are tender. Return bacon to pan. Stir in the next 12 ingredients.
3. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until meat is tender, about 3 hours.
4. Add beans and heat through. Discard bay leaf. Garnish with cheddar cheese.
