How-to
- Render bacon in a stockpot over medium high heat. Add peppers and onions and a bit of water to deglaze the pan. Cook until the peppers begin to breakdown and the onions become translucent
- Add remaining ingredients and stir frequently as it comes to a rolling boil (turn up heat if necessary, but make sure the bottom doesn’t scorch). Cook at a rolling boil for an hour. Remove from stove and let it cool a bit. Blend the mixture with a stick blender or in a regular blender until smooth. Return the blended mixture to the stove and simmer for ½ hour. Stir in any drippings or trimmings if you have them
