Recipe Summary Micah's 4 1/2-Alarm Chili
This is my sweet and spicy chili. Enough people have asked for the recipe that I decided to post it here! This makes a pretty big batch of chili. You can always halve the ingredients. Also, I probably make it a little bit differently each time, so it's no biggie if the ingredients aren't an exact match. I think that the chili is best when it has a few days to really combine the flavors.Ingredients | Maccheroni Pasta Ai 4 Formaggi1 pound ground beef, or more to taste1 onion, chopped, or more to taste1 pound bacon2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, undrained, or more to taste2 (15 ounce) cans baked beans, undrained, or more to taste1 (28 ounce) can diced stewed tomatoes, or more to taste½ cup brown sugar2 tablespoons barbeque rub (such as Great American Spice Co.™ Pit Master)2 tablespoons chili powder1 tablespoon habanero-based hot sauce (such as Backdraft Fire Sauce®)2 teaspoons garlic powderDirectionsCombine ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir until browned, 5 to 8 minutes.
