Bacon in chili?

[Glock 'em down]

We are having a birthday party for my grandson this evening (he's 6) and I'm making a pot of chili.

I've never really made my chili the same way twice...you know, a dash of this, a whisper of that, but I always use basically the same ingredients: a pound of deer, 2 pounds of beef, about a half a pound of Blue & Gold sausage, grilled onions, a clove or two of fresh garlic, chili powder, black pepper and Lawry's to taste, tomato juice and Ro-Tel tomatoes.

This year, I thought about maybe dicing up four or five strips of bacon and searing it up with the other meats. Whatcha think? Does anybody else do this? I figure bacon makes everything awesome, right?

Your thoughts and comments please.

Definitely not a bad idea.

Bacon works for me! In fact, you need to try chocolate chip cookies made with bacon grease.

Pig. The universal meat.

I'd absolutely fry up some bacon and crumble it into the chili. Never don't that myself, but you can bet its going to get tried out with the next pot of chili we make.
Sounds like a tasty add-in.

No. bacon in chili would mess with my cumin and onion flavors

Hmmm... I've got some brats I picked up from the German deli in Tulsa, or I'd probably be making chili tomorrow. Sounds good. I would do it today, but I gotta go to a robotics competition to support The Boy. Looks like I won't be making it to Wanenmacher's.

I thought about adding some brats too.

Calling it my 5 meat chili.
