chili recipe

I made this chili today. It is really good! crazy amount of ingredients... totally worth it!

1 lb pork shoulder (tamale meat), I used ground pork
1 lb bacon
2 lb stew meat
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 28 oz can tomato sauce
1 bottle beer
1 can beef broth
1 lb course ground chuck
2 lb pork sausage
2 small onions
1 bell pepper
4+ cloves of garlic
1 can green chilis
1 28 oz can chopped tomato, I used rotel
3 tbls chili powder
3 tbls cumin
1 tbls molasses
2-3 tbls chopped fresh cilantro
2 cans beans, I used pinto beans

Grind bacon in food processor, cook until done but not crisp. (My food processor bit the dust, so I chopped up the raw bacon into tiny pieces instead.) Drain and set aside reserving drippings. Dredge stew meat in flour, salt and pepper. Brown in 1-2 tbls drippings. Put tomato sauce, beef broth, beer and stew meat in slow cooker and cook overnight (low) or about 3 hrs on high until tender. Chop onions, green pepper and garlic an saute in 1/2 tbls bacon drippings until soft. Brown remaining meat. Combine all ingredients except cilantro in a large pot and simmer 1 hour, add additional salt and pepper to taste. Add cilantro and additional broth or water if it is too thick before serving. Serve with cheese and sour cream.

Chili cook-off worthy! Not too spicy for the kiddos. If you like your chili spicy, add more chili powder. Enjoy!
