Lindie's Chili

I got this recipe from my cousin and can't wait to try it!

Lindie's Chili

1 can (20 oz) tomato sauce
1 can (28 oz) peeled/diced tomatoes
1 cup diced onion
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 lb of bacon
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1 1/2 lbs spicy sausage
1/2 bottle hickory smoke BBQ sauce
1/4 cup chili powder
2 cans kidney beans undrained
2 squares unsweetened chocolate chopped (I don’t chop mine every time. If you toss it in, it should melt just fine.)

1. In a large pot over medium heat, combine tomato sauce, tomatoes, onion & Italian Seasoning.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until slightly crisp. Drain & stir into pot.
3. In the same skillet over medium heat, cook sausage over medium heat until brown. Drain & stir into pot.
4. In the same skillet over medium heat, cook beef until brown. Drain & stir into the pot.
5. Stir the barbecue & chili powder into the pot; taste & adjust seasonings. Stir in the kidney beans & chocolate & simmer until flavors are well blended.
Serve.
