That looks like a good chili recipe. Simple, and all the ingredients are basic pantry items for anyone who cooks regularly (except for the bacon sausage, of course). I might leave out a lot of the hotter ingredients -- I'd likely substitute Poblano chilies for the Jalapeños, and use no more than an 1/8 tsp. of cayenne, leaving out the sriracha altogether. Personal preference, though. No disrespect to the recipe. Farmland and Big Fork seem to be the main commercial sources for bacon sausage, but if you know a butcher who makes sausages, they might have it -- or might make it for you. Or, if you can't find any and still want to get some bacon flavor, you could substitute bacon drippings for the olive oil. Or just add some chopped/minced pork jowl or bacon to the chili. I don't normally tinker with recipes until I've actually followed it exactly at least once, but already know I can't do super hot and enjoy it, while bacon sausage is kind of a specialty item. Anyway, thanks for posting.
