¼ cup BBQ seasoning

2 tbsp salt

2 tbsp Mexican chili powder

2 tbsp ground cumin

1 tbsp cayenne pepper

1 tbsp mustard powder

1 tbsp oregano

½ lb diced bacon

6 cloves garlic, minced

3 medium yellow onions, diced

3 jalapeno peppers, seeded, diced

½ cup vegetable oil

1 bottle beer

1-2 cups beef stock

1 - 2 cups BBQ Sauce

  11. Reduce heat to low, stirring occasionally for 1 hour.
  12. Stir in BBQ sauce and remove from heat, allowing to cool. Refrigerate over night.
  13. Transfer chili to a self-sealing container and pack in a cooler with ice packs to re-heat chili. Transfer to a pot or crock and slowly heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until hot.

Note: You may wish to add a little beer to the chili to start with as it may be a little thick.
