2 pounds lean ground beef
1 pound sweet Italian sausage
1 large bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, small diced
2-4 jalapeno peppers, ribs and seeds removed, small diced
1 sweet onion, small diced
3 cups V-8 Spicy Hot Vegetable Juice
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1 28-ounce can of whole tomatoes, drained and chopped
1 can dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
4 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon molasses
1-2 teaspoons sriracha, to taste
1/2 pound of bacon, chopped and fried
kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, chili powder, ground cumin, and garlic powder, to taste

Steps:

In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Reserve the bacon grease for later.
In a large Dutch oven, brown the beef and sausage over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper. Drain the grease and set the meat aside.
In the same pot, drizzle about a tablespoon of the reserved bacon grease and sauté the diced peppers and onion. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder and cook until translucent and tender, about 5-8 minutes.
Add the beef and sausage back to the pot, then add the remaining ingredients: V-8, ketchup, tomatoes, kidney beans, brown sugar, lemon juice, worcestershire, vinegar, mustard, molasses, and sriracha. Mix well.
Cover and simmer over low heat for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Add the bacon in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Add chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with bread or crackers and top with sour cream, cheese, or any of your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
