• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 3 stalks celery, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
• 2 green chilli peppers, seeded and chopped
• 200 gm bacon bits
• 4 stock cubes
• ¼ cup chili powder
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

• 1 teaspoon white sugar

Preparation Method

1. Light your Envirofit SuperSaver Charcoal Jiko using little charcoal.
2. Heat olive oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat (by slightly closing the SuperSaver air regulator) and add the beef. Cook stirring to break up the meat, and allow to brown evenly.
3. Pour in the beans, diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir well. Add the onion, celery, green and red peppers, chilli peppers, bacon and crumbled stock cubes. Season with chili powder, garlic, oregano, cumin, basil, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika and sugar. Stir to
blend, then cover and simmer over low heat (by closing the SuperSaver air regulator) for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
4. After 2 hours, taste, and adjust salt, pepper and chili powder if necessary. The longer the chili simmers, the better it will taste. Remove from heat and serve or refrigerate and serve the next day.
5. Serve it alongside any stew and see your family enjoy and want more!
