How to Make Meat Lover’s Chili on a Stove Top

Aunt Lou here.

We are a chili loving family in this house. Now, we are from southern Indiana, so we are a macaroni noodles in our chili family normally. However this Meat Lover’s Chili is so hearty with bacon, ground beef and ground sausage, that we didn’t actually miss the macaroni noodles. However, if you want to put macaroni noodles in it, I think that would be absolutely delicious, and it would also make the chili go farther when it comes to servings. Macaroni noodles or no macaroni noodles, you do whatever your heart desires. This is sure to be a hit. Trust me.

(If this recipe sounds good to you, but you would prefer to make it in your crock pot, you can find that recipe here. However, if you would rather make it in your electric pressure cooker, you can find that recipe here.)
