# Instructions:
01 -
Chop up your bacon and toss it in a big pot over medium heat. Let it sizzle until it's crispy, then pull it out and set it aside.
02 -
Throw the kielbasa slices into the same pot with the bacon grease and cook both sides until browned. Take them out and set them aside too.
03 -
In that same pot, toss in the ground beef, onions, and garlic. Stir and break up the beef while it cooks until it's fully browned and there's no more pink.
04 -
Sprinkle everything with your flour, salt, pepper, and chili powder. Mix it all together and let it cook for another minute or so.
05 -
Now add your diced tomatoes, baked beans, green chilies, sweet corn, potatoes, bacon, kielbasa, and a cup of water. Pour in all the liquids from the cans too.
06 -
Bring it up to a boil, then turn the heat way down. Cover it and let it slowly simmer for about an hour. Give it a stir now and then, and add more water if it gets too thick.
07 -
Dish it out nice and hot, and finish it off by sprinkling the parsley on top.
