2 to 4 slices thick cut cooked bacon

2 to 3 tablespoons bacon drippings

2 green bell peppers

Olive Oil

1 pound Foster Farms ground turkey

2 cans kidney beans

2 cans black beans

2 - 14 oz. cans ready cut premium, peeled tomatoes, diced in juice

2 – 15 oz. can tomato sauce

1 tsp. Sugar

1 tsp. Salt

1 tsp.Cinnamon

1 to 2 tablespoon Dark Chili Powder

Crook pot


Cook bacon. Chop bell papers into 1” pieces remove seeds. In a large skillet heat olive oil. Add green bell peppers. Cook until soft. Leave in pan and move to the sides of the pan. Add 1 pound Foster Farms ground turkey, brown. Chop bacon coarsely and add to skillet. Remove from stove and drain. Place in crook pot. Drain and rinse 2 cans kidney beans and 2 cans black beans. Add to mixture. Add tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Stir mixture. Add bacon drippings, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and dark chili powder. Mix in. Place in fridge overnight. In the morning skim fat and place crook pot in heating element. Cook for 8 hours on low.

To cook bacon in the oven. Place bacon on a cookie sheet. Loosely tent with aluminum foil, this is to prevent the bacon grease from splattering everywhere. Place in a cold oven. Turn oven on to 425 degrees. Cook until done. Usually 15 to 20 minutes.
