No Bean Chili (Rib-eye Chili)

Chili with a twist ! No beans, no ground meat.. just plain old bacon and Rib eye. Nothing can possibly go wrong with bacon and Rib eye , right ?

Asked the BF to choose a recipe to make dinner.... and bingo he picked this winner from  our cook book (Cast Iron Skillet Flavors) ... . Had to trust this boy when it comes to FOOD !
