Here, for your pleasure, and mine are the secrets behind Sweet and Spicy Chili.
Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 1 T olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 C chopped baby carrots or diced large carrots
- 1.5 lbs. ground meat (beef, chicken or turkey)
- 7 pieces bacon
- 2 T light brown sugar
- 1 can corn kernels in juice
- 1 can light red kidney beans in juice
- 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
- 1 small can tomato paste (6 oz)
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 pkg. chili seasoning
- 1 T honey
- ¼ C light brown sugar
- ¼ C honey BBQ sauce
- ¼ C pineapple juice
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- ½ tsp ground red pepper
- ½ tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp nutmeg
Directions
- In a medium or large stock pot, lightly spray with cooking spray and add olive oil. Sautee garlic and onion over medium heat, adding salt and pepper.
- In a medium skillet, lightly spray with cooking spray and brown meat. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook bacon. Add 2 T brown sugar halfway through to caramelize the bacon. Drain cooked bacon on a paper towel. When cooled, chop the bacon and set aside.
- In a small pot or sauce pan, boil chopped carrots until slightly tender. Drain, then add to the stock pot with garlic and onion.
- Add the remaining listed ingredients to the stock pot and simmer over medium heat. Add ground meat and bacon.
- Simmer for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve hot.
