We have a chili cookoff today at work. I've got several chili recipes in the vault, but after looking at the sign up list on Friday, I decided to do something a little different.  After some brief searching I cam across this recipe. 

3 lbs ground chuck (80/20)

1 lbs thick cut bacon

Chili powder

Cumin

Corriander

Oregano

Salt

Crushed black pepper

Plablano pepper

Red Bell pepper

Jalapeno pepper

Chipotle peppers

Yellow onions

Garlic

Pinto beans

Tomato puree

Tomato diced

Beer


Smoked the burgers and bacon (a little apple wood)


Prep the other ingridients


Everybody in the pot


Cook it down


Finished product

It has a good flavor.  I will probably grill the burgers next time vs. smoking them. The smoke flavor is pretty strong, but still really good. I might add a couple other things to get it a little more spicy next time, but for a first go I would grade it out at a strong B.
