Introduction

I Found this recipe online years ago and my family loves it. Hot hearty Chili without beans or tomatoes. We add Potatoes or Beans to it occassionally for that texture, but it really doesn't need it!

Directions

In a large heavy kettle or pot, cook the bacon over moderate heat, stirring, until it is crisp and crumbles, add the onions and the garlic and cook the mixture, stirring, until the onions are softened. Add the chili powder and the cumin and cook the mixture stirring for 30 seconds. Add the beef, the water, oregano and the salt. Simmer the mixture uncovered adding more water if necessary to keep the beef barely covered, for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the beef is tender.
