Directions
- 1Season the ground beef with your favorite BBQ rub and form it into a loaf.
- 2Cook the bacon in a dutch oven until crispy, then set aside.
- 3Sauté the diced onions and bell peppers in the bacon grease until soft.
- 4Add the minced garlic and sweat it down until fragrant.
- 5Add the diced tomatoes, baked beans, cooked bacon, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, chili powder, Samuel Adams Just the Haze IPA, salt, and pepper to the dutch oven.
- 6Stir all the ingredients together in the dutch oven.
- 7Place the seasoned ground beef on the warming rack of a smoker or oven set to 225°F, directly over the dutch oven with the chili, to allow the fat to render into the chili.

- 9Once the ground beef reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, it's ready to be shredded into the chili.
