A Texas Red Chili from Pud Recipe

Roast cumin seeds for 10 minutes in a 375 degree oven. Remove and set aside. Heat a LARGE kettle and saute the bacon until clear. Brown the meats first (drain off the fat), and then add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 3-4 hours on low, adding tomato sauce, beef stock or water if it seems dry. Correct seasonings and add the cooked beans and tomato sauce, cook for 1-2 more hours on low.
