Iron Chef Steve Returns
I was inspired by Scattagoric Staffer, Missie's yummy multi-meat chili recipe. (I thoroughly agree with Missie that bacon makes everything better.) I decided to make an equally meaty chili of epic proportions.

Ingredients:
1 lbs stew beef
1.25 lbs ground turkey
1 lbs thick cut smoked bacon
1 medium Spanish onion
3 large jalapeño peppers
4 large cloves of garlic
1 large can of crushed tomatoes
1 large can of black beans
1 small can of refried black beans
an excessive amount of Cholula Hot Sauce
an excessive amount of Frank'ss Xtra Hot Sauce
lots of course-ground black pepper
as much cayenne pepper as you can tolerate

Directions:
Dump contents of can of crushed tomatoes into a large pot or a crock pot. Rinse canned black beans and add to crushed tomatoes. Mince four cloves of garlic and add to pot. Chop onion and add to pot. Chop and de-seed jalapeños and add to pot. Begin heating mixture.

Lightly brown ground turkey in frying pan and add to mixture. Drain pan. Wash then cut stew beef into bite-size pieces, lightly brown the exterior, and add to mixture. Drain pan. Cut bacon into bite-size pieces, fry, and add to mixture. Drain pan.

As additional liquid gets cooked out of the veggies in the mix, stir in the refried black beans to thicken the chili. Absently-mindly splash on ridiculous amounts of Cholula Hot Sauce and Frank's Xtra Hot Sauce. Sprinkle healthy amounts of black pepper and cayenne pepper into the mix and stir like crazy.

Cook/simmer on low/medium/high for five to eight hours until chili is an unrecognizable mix of spicy meats and other protein-heavy items. Check and stir frequently. Serve in bowls with shredded Sargento cheddar-pepper jack mix and Tostitos Gold chips.
