INGREDIENTS

CONVERSION CALCULATOR

Cook the diced bacon in a dutch oven or large pot over medium heat, stirring often, until crispy, about 5 to 6 minutes.
Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a large slow cooker, leaving any leftover fat in the dutch oven.
Generously season the stew meat with salt and pepper then cook in the bacon fat over medium heat until well browned on all sides, about 6 minutes.
Remove the stew meat with a slotted spoon to the slow cooker with the bacon.
Add the ground beef and pork to the pot and cook, while breaking them up, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the beef and pork to the slow cooker with the stew meat and bacon.
Add the onions, poblano peppers, and garlic to the pot and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring often.
Add the tomatoes, soy sauce, chili powder, crushed red pepper, and 1 tsp salt to the pot then increase the heat to medium-high.
Cook, stirring often and using a wooden spoon to scrape up any stuck on bits from the bottom of the pot, until it just begins to boil.
Transfer the contents of the pot into the slow cooker with the meats then stir to combine.
Place a lid on the slow cooker and cook, on LOW heat, for about 7 hours or until the stew meat is tender.
Season the chili with salt & pepper to taste then serve with any optional toppings.
