For fresh tomatoes: Wash the tomatoes, cut them crosswise, and briefly place them in boiling water. Then rinse them in cold water, peel them, remove the stems, and dice them. Dice the onions, bacon, and bell peppers. Sauté the bacon in a large pot with the onions and crushed garlic. Add the minced meat and fry until crumbly. Season with salt and pepper. Add the bell peppers, corn, and vegetable stock, and simmer with the lid on for 5-10 minutes. Place the kidney beans in a sieve and rinse well. Add the tomatoes to the chili (if using canned tomatoes, chop them up in the pot). Season to taste with salt, pepper, and paprika. You can adjust the spiciness with cayenne pepper.
