    **Ingredients**

    2 lbs ground beef

    1 sweet onion thinly julienned

    4 cloves garlic finely chopped

    1 carrots finely chopped

    2 habanero peppers, diced and with seeds

    3 TBS ground chili powder

    2 TSP ground cumin

    1 TBL bacon fat

    2 TSP salt

    Black pepper to your preference

    28oz can diced tomatoes

    28oz can tomato sauce

    2 15oz cans of kidney beans – I use one light and one dark

    **Instructions**

    Cut up all the vegetables and set on your biggest cutting board

    Brown the meat in a skillet – completely drain the excess liquid

    Add the chili powder and cumin and toast spices with the meat

    Dump the tomato products, habaneros and garlic into the crockpot along with the spiced meat, salt and pepper

    Add bacon fat to the skillet and sautee the onions, carrots and bell peppers until the onions are translucent, then add to the crockpot

    Cook on low for 8 to 9 hours

    Drain and rinse kidney beans and then add to the chili

    Set slow cooker to high and cook 15 to 20 min. Note, if carrots are still a little crunchy, keep cooking on high until they are moderately tender

    I cook a similar recipe on high for 3 hours. I use $1 sauce and store brand light kidney beans to cut costs with no bacon fat. Great this time of year.
