The Best Chili EVER...and it's Paleo!

Ingredients:
1 lb ground pork
1/2 lb bacon, cubed
1 sweet onion, diced
1 red sweet mini pepper, diced
1 orange sweet mini pepper, diced
1 yellow sweet mini pepper, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14) oz can Muir Glen Fire Roasted Tomatoes (don't substitute brands!)
2 (8) oz cans Muir Glen Tomato Sauce
1 T garlic powder
1 T chili powder
2 T SMOKED Paprika
2 t cumin
salt/pepper to taste

Cook down bacon in a large pot.
While the bacon is cooking, cut your veggies.  I use the three different colored peppers, but use what you have.
When the bacon is crisp, drain the bacon grease, then add veggies.
Let cook about 6 minutes.
Add pork and spices.
Once pork is brown, add tomatoes and tomato sauce.
Mix well and simmer for at least 8 minutes (I let it go for an hour or so).
Optional: Serve with a scoop of my paleo guacamole right in your chili and some homemade sweet potato fries!  Or, pour chili and guac into a cooked sweet potato.
YUMMY!

This recipe doesn't make very much.  I always double, triple or more!
