I think the name here just speaks for itself.
It really does taste like a bacon cheeseburger. In chili form.
This chili will get rave reviews when you serve it for dinner, or set it out for your football watching party!
I wish I could offer you a spoon for you to reach through the screen for a bite.
Look for the special, no need to soak ahead of time Slow Cooker Bacon & Beans from HamBeens! Find them on the dry bean aisle.

It says “Salt and pepper” in the ingredients, but the steps do not say at which point the seasoning should be added or what to. Add to beef when browning? Add to all ingredients before turing on slow cooker? Add towards the end with the milk/heavy cream?
