Servings: persons

1 lb bacon, chopped
4 lbs lean beef chuck roast, chopped
2 lbs ground beef
1 lb ground turkey
4 (12 ounce) cans kidney beans
8 whole cloves
4 garlic cloves
6 fresh jalapenos, chopped
16 ounces canned chilies, chopped (Old El Paso or similar)
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons paprika
6 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Tabasco sauce
4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
5 tablespoons dried chipotle powder
2 (12 ounce) bottles lager beer
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 (12 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes

1
Fry bacon in a heavy pot.
2
Remove and reserve bacon.
3
Brown the meat and garlic in the bacon fat. For best results, move to a cast iron skillet.
4
Saute onions in stock pot until soft.
5
Add the meat, bacon, chilis, spices, sauces, jalapenos, beer, tomatoes and paste.
6
Simmer for two hours.
7
Add remaining ingredients during cooking, as you check and stir.
8
Make sure last ingredients are added with at least one hour of cooking time remaining.
9
For best results, allow chili to sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours to give the spices a chance to intensify. It is ok to serve off the stove (suggest a bread bowl!), but it is almost always better as leftovers.
10
Caution: freezing and reheating will effect the quality. It will still be good, but not the same.
