The other day winter was in full effect and even though the skies were grey and the air was frigid, I was a happy lady. There is nothing better then a house filled with the smell of an amazing smoky, bacony (yes I just made up my own word ;0 ) aroma. So here is the recipe for heaven in a pot. When I made this I served it over sweet potatoes which was beyond devine. Okay enough drooling, on to the goods!
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
6 slices of bacon, cubed
1 yellow onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (14) ounce can of fire roasted tomatoes
1 (8) ounce can of tomato sauce
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and pepper, to taste
2-3 sweet potatoes (optional but highly reccomended!)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Poke holes in your sweet potatoes with a fork. Place on rack in oven and cook for about 30 minutes or until potato is soft and cooked through.
Now pull out a large pot, add your cubed bacon and let cook down.
While the bacon is cooking, chop the onion and garlic.
When the bacon has browned and is a bit crisp, add your veggies.
Let cook for about 6 or so minutes, then add your ground beef and all the spices.
Once the beef is browned, add your tomato sauce and fire roasted tomatoes.
Mix well and let all the flavors meld together while cooking on low for the next 8 minutes or so, stirring occasionally.
Then split open your sweet potato, pour your chili over it, and eat. Heaven.
