Follow The Directions

01

Step
7 mins

In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground pork and season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and crumbly (5-7 minutes). Drain off any excess grease and transfer the pork to a slow cooker.

02

Step
10 mins

In the same skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium-high heat until crispy and golden brown (about 10 minutes). Drain off the grease and add the bacon to the slow cooker.

03

Step
5 mins

Add the drained diced tomatoes, chopped onion, chopped green bell peppers, and tomato paste to the slow cooker. Sprinkle in the chili seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.

04

Step
6 hrs

Cover and cook on Low for about 6 hours, or until the flavors have melded together beautifully. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving.

For an even deeper flavor, consider browning the pork and bacon in the same skillet, allowing the bacon fat to infuse the pork. Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the level of heat. This chili freezes well, making it a great option for meal prepping. Garnish with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped cilantro.
