Instructions
1
Put the bacon in a large high-sided pan, then turn the heat to medium-high and cook until the fat has rendered and the bacon is beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Pour off some of the excess bacon fat, leaving a thin layer in the pan.
2
Add the beef to the pan and cook over medium-high heat, turning, until beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and pour off all but a thin layer of fat.
3
Add the onions and garlic to the pan and cook until beginning to brown and soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the oregano and cumin and cook until fragrant, about1 minute. Add ¼ cup water and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
4
Transfer the bacon, beef and onion-spice mixture to a 6-quart slow cooker. Add the chipotles and adobo sauce, brown sugar and beef broth and season with the salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover and set to cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours.
5
When the chili has finished cooking and the beef is tender, mix the masa harina with ¼ cup water in a small bowl until combined. Stir into the chili. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Serve with sour cream, scallions, and corn chips.
