After seeing gmc2003 's chili post the other day I got the jones... bad...

So I made my World Famous, Internationally Known and Awesome Tasting, Ultimate Chili.

4-strips of HEB better Than Good bacon / crisp
6-cloves garlic / smashed / well browned
1-1/2 yellow onion diced / sauteed until translucent
6-lbs of HEB Choice Angus chuck / cubed / well browned
9-tablespoons Pecos Valley Spice Company chili powder / red / hot
1-1/2 teaspoons Pecos Valley Spice Company Mexican Oregano / ground
1-1/2 teaspoons Pecos Valley Spice Company Cumin / ground
About 4-cups of filtered water

Everything in the cast iron Dutch oven @ 12:30 PM

Starting to fall apart @ 3:30 PM

Ready to go @ 4:30 PM

Some Lundberg Wild Blend in the bottom of the bowl (I forgot to buy Pinto beans)

Damn!! Get in my belly!! Seriously nice job! You guys are going to make me do chili sooner rather than later in the fall.

I just woke up - it's 3:40 AM - and I could not resist heating a small bowlful in the microwave...

Damn I love chili - plus it definitely improves after an almost overnight rest in the fridge. I was almost going to add some canned tomatoes while it was cooking yesterday, just for a little change-up, but I am glad that I did not.
