I think it would take me all of 15 min to prep, but not much more if
any. I'm pretty quick in the kitchen. Of course I'd also be chopping the
onions and peppers while the bacon browned slowly in the pot.

As to servings-I think it would probably make about 8 large bowlfuls.
Not servings, but big bowlfuls. I eat a lot less chili than my husband
yet we both had a serving.
