  • Prepare Chili sauce. (if using) Fry bacon, remove and chop. Add oil to bacon grease, brown chicken and beef. Add boiling water and everything else. Cook 10 minutes, or simmer longer. Garnish and serve. *ANCHOI CHILI SAUCE: Place 6-8 dried, seeded, Ancho chili's in 2 cups water with 1/2 onion quartered, 3 cloves garlic, 1 teas. cumin seed, salt and pepper. boil 10-15 min. Remove peppers and onions to blender/processer. Add 1, 15oz can tomato sauce and 1 teas. Cumin seed. Blend till smooth. and use 2 cups sauce as base for soup! More work but makes a richer soup!
