Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 300˚F.
  2. Cut bacon in length lengthwise then cut into thin (¼-inch) pieces width-wise. Add bacon and olive oil to a large Dutch oven or heavy-duty stockpot. Cook over medium heat until bacon is crisp and golden. Do not discard fat.
  3. Add garlic to the pot and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add diced vegetables, diced corn tortillas, chili powder, cumin and oregano to the pot and stir well. Continue to cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until veggies are beginning to soften and onions are translucent.
  4. Add broth, tomatoes, black beans, green chilis, salt and sugar. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Cover and place in the oven for 2 hours.
  5. Place pot on the stovetop, add chicken and cook, uncovered for 10 minutes to thicken broth and meld flavors. Add corn and cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
  6. Serve chili on its own or with toppings listed above in the post under Café Tips.
