- 2 cups bell peppers diced
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups water

In a dutch oven, melt the bacon grease over medium heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers, stirring occasionally. Cook until vegetables are softened.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, water and chili seasoning.
Add the beans and stir to combine.
If the chili is too acidic, stir in one small finely grated carrot. This is optional but will cut the acidity if needed.
Cook chili, stirring occasionally over medium-low heat for 20 -30 minutes. Simmer until ready to serve.
Serve with your favorite toppings like cheese, sour cream, jalapeños and cilantro.
Store leftover chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4 days, freeze in a freezer container up to 3 months.
