With colder nights and warmer days, it’s cowboy weather. And where there’s cowboys, there’s chili. I think just about everyone must have their own chili recipe, but if you don’t, it’s easy to create a signature dish.

Cowboy Style Chili with Beans

Ingredients

¼ pound smoky bacon
2 pounds sirloin steak, either ground or diced into ½” pieces
canola or vegetable oil, if necessary
sea salt and pepper, to taste
1 large or 2 medium brown onions, diced
1 each red and green bell pepper, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon finely ground espresso coffee
1 tablespoon Aleppo pepper
1 teaspoon chipotle chili pepper, or more to taste
½ tablespoon cumin
½ teaspoon dry mustard
½ teaspoon ground coriander
1 quart chicken stock
1 (28-ounce) can crushed roma tomatoes with juice
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15-ounce) can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained

Optional Toppings

sour cream
cheddar or cheddar / Monterey Jack blend cheese
sliced jalapeños
diced onion

Instructions

1. On the stove top, using a slow cooker insert or a Dutch oven, cook bacon until crispy, remove and drain on paper towels.
2. Add sirloin to the pan while the bacon drippings are still hot. Don’t crowd the meat or it won’t brown, so do this in two steps if necessary. Season with a sprinkle of sea salt and a grind or two of fresh pepper; remove meat and set aside.
3. If needed, add enough canola or vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan, add the onion and sauté until translucent. Add bell peppers and cook until soft, stirring frequently. Add the garlic and stir briefly.
4. Chop or crumble the bacon and add it the pan. Return the browned meat to the pan. Add the coffee and spices and cook, stirring until the mixture is coated well and it becomes fragrant.
5. If using a slow cooker: Replace insert into the housing now and add remaining ingredients. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
If using a Dutch oven: Add remaining ingredients and cook over medium heat for 3-4 hours.
