  • 2 each jalapeno, chopped
  • 3 Tablespoons chili powder
  • 6 cups Italian plum tomatoes, chop in large pieces

  1. Place the bacon in a large pot or Dutch oven and cook over medium heat until just crisp. Remove bacon with slotted spoon and reserve, leaving rendered fat. Add onions to bacon fat. Lower heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes or until they are soft.

  3. Simmer mixture for 20-30 minutes until it thickens slightly. For a smokey flavor add 2 tsp liquid smoke to lobster, toss and add to chili.
  4. Add the reserved bacon, green chilies, and Maine Lobster. Simmer for 2-3 minutes longer.
