Larry’s Award Winning Southwest Chili Recipe

September 6, 2015 by Lisa Pinney

image

We we had a chili cook-off at work this week

and I knew I had to enter my brother, Larry’s chili recipe!

It is my absolute favorite of all time! He adds whole black olives to his..

I just didn’t include them in this recipe ๐Ÿ™‚

My brother begins this deliciousness by frying 6-8 pieces of bacon and then sets the bacon aside for later…

I didn’t have bacon but I do save my bacon grease …like me the good southern girl I am!

image

You will need to begin with the bacon grease from the bacon and add your garlic and onions…

Saute’ them for 5-6 minutes or so and set the skillet aside…

In another skillet, Saute’ the Italian Sausage until done…

image

Add the broken up sausage with andouille…

We use this sausage…there’s 4 in the package and I use 2

but you can use them all if you’d like…:))

image

add the onion and garlic mixture to the meat…

pour in the rotel…black beans…crumbled bacon…mushrooms…

image

then the chili-o seasoning packets…

image

stir until combined well and then use the rotel can to add 2 cans of water…

.image

Simmer covered on low about sn hour or cook on low all day in your crock pot and enjoy!

oh… And do you know they still haven’t announced the winner of the cook-off

at work yet… But I’m ready…
