If you like a warm stew or soup like classic chili you will love this new take that includes bacon (who doesn't love bacon?) and our favorite ingredient - 100% pure Brantview Farms Maple Syrup! Warm up with this easy and flavorful recipe that will have everyone asking for seconds.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef (or turkey or chicken - whatever you prefer)
1/2 lb bacon, cut in 1" pieces
1 large can whole tomatoes or 3 15 oz. cans of diced tomatoes undrained
1 15 oz. can dark red kidney beans, drained
1 large or 2 medium onions, thickly sliced
1/2 cup pure Brantview Farms Maple Syrup
1/4 tsp garlic powder or chopped garlic cloves to your taste
salt and pepper to your taste
Directions:
Brown bacon in skillet along with ground meat of choice. Drain and discard excess grease.
Add tomatoes, kidney beans, onion slices, maple syrup and seasonings. Combine all in a slow cooker and cook for 4-6 hours or more until it's hot and bubbly. You can also prepare this meal faster by cooking all ingredients in a large heavy pot until the onions are tender and all ingredients are hot. Enjoy!
