Instructions

  1. 01

    Mix salt with ground beef. Set aside so it can get nice and salty while you prep the other ingredients. In a large Dutch oven over medium high heat, fry your bacon pieces until crispy. Drain on paper towel lined plates. Pour off most of the bacon fat, but leave 1-2 tablespoons for sautéing.

  2. 02

    Add the onion, garlic, jalapeno, and carrots. Sauté until soft and fragrant.

  3. 03

    Add the ground beef and spices. Brown until fully cooked.

  4. 04

    Add the tomato paste. Sauté for 2-3 minutes.

  5. 05

    Add tomatoes, beans, broth, and bacon. Bring to a low simmer. Cover it and let it hang out over low heat for at least 30-45 minutes, but ideally 2+ hours (this helps the flavors develop and this is why it’s Sunday chili). You can alternate between keeping it over a low flame and just letting it rest in the hot pot. It will thicken, so use extra water or broth to thin it out to desired consistency.

  6. 06

    BOOM! Top with all your favorite toppings. Make plans to revisit this again next Sunday.
