Smokehouse Chili
Ingredients:
3 pounds ground beef
1 onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 strips bacon
3 15oz cans tomato sauce
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 can light red kidney beans
2 tsp chipotle chili powder
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tsp ground mustard
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tablespoon brown sugar

Directions:
Cook ground beef, bacon, onions, and peppers over medium heat in a large skillet until beef is almost done. Add garlic and cook until meats are done. Drain. In a large pot, or slow cooker, add all ingredients and mix well. If using a slow cooker, cover and cook on high for 4 hours. 3 hours may work, but mine needed 4 to be hot enough. If cooking on the stovetop, bring to a boil and then turn to low. Let simmer for at least 30 minutes.
