I know the name of this dish is making quite the claim, but my mom insisted upon it, and since she gave birth to me I think she should be allowed her way every now and again. : )
This is, to me, a perfect fall and winter dish. My hubby doesn’t like most chili dishes, but even he had extra helpings. I made it for our Pumpkin Potluck this fall and when I was pouring it in our large crock pot, I thought I made too much… Well, let’s just say it got taken care of. : )
BEST EVER CHILI
Recipe by My Stained Apron
8 oz bacon (thick sliced)
1 large onion, chopped
1 lb ground pork
1 lb ground beef
3 garlic cloves, minced

2 (14.5 oz) cans diced tomatoes*
2 (8 oz) cans tomato sauce
2 T paprika
salt and pepper, to taste
1 tsp chili or chipotle powder
1 T cumin
1 T oregano
Chop bacon and cook in a large pot. Drain off excess fat.
Add onion and garlic and cook a few minutes until softened.
Add pork and beef and break up with a wooden spoon. Cook until no longer pink.
Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Simmer 1 to 3 hours (You can also put in a crockpot at this point instead of simmering on the stovetop).
*If you don’t like chunks of tomato in your chili, puree them first.
For serving:
shredded cheddar cheese
Corn chips
sliced green onions
sour cream
lime wedges
cilantro

Love the cute idea of putting the toppings in a muffin tin!
