How to make it

- Remove and reserve bacon pieces.
- In same skillet, using 2 tbsp. of the bacon fat (reserve the rest)
- brown the beef cubes in batches until quite brown.
- Brown the ground pork until cooked through in same pan.
- In a large kettle, at least 8 qt. place the remaining bacon fat and saute the onions until soft and limp.
- Add the garlic and cook a few minutes more but do not brown the garlic.
- Add the browned meats, along with the crisp bacon and all of the seasonings.
- Stir over low heat.
